The global burden of low back pain attributable high body mass index over the period 1990–2021 and projections up to 2035
Higher levels of BMI, along with age and gender, are associated with an increased burden of LBP. The global burden of LBP attributable to high BMI is predicted to continue rising over the next 15 years. This study offers additional evidence to support the development and implementation of policies and strategies aimed at preventing and mitigating future increases in the burden of LBP.
