Associations between obesity, physical and mental function, and low back pain intensity and disability: A 14-year population-based study
These findings highlight that among individuals with overweight or obesity significantly impaired physical and mental functions are important in identifying those at risk of having high-intensity back pain and high disability 14 years later. Examining changes in weight and physical and mental health over time is warranted and targeting these factors together may help reduce the huge burden of back pain in the community.
