New Orleans - The more obese a person is, the more likely the risk that
they will suffer from low back pain, but they may be able to reduce the
odds by engaging in a moderate amount of exercise, according to research
presented here.
.
The research paper is the latest to link weight and exercise to one of the
most common conditions afflicting Americans and one of the first large
studies to use an objective measure to study the condition: accelerometers
that track a person's daily exercise levels.
.
The research, which was presented Thursday at the North American Spine
Society's annual meeting here, analyzed data from the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey involving 6,796 people.
.
It found that in people who were normal weight, defined as a body mass
index of 20 to 25, the risk of low back pain was 2.9%. BMI is the
relationship between a person's height and weight.
.
A person who is 5 feet 10 inches and 174 pounds has a BMI of 25.
.
In those who were overweight, which is a BMI of 26 to 30, low back pain
risk was 5.2%. In the obese, a BMI of 31 to 35, the risk grew to 7.7%. And
in the morbidly obese, a BMI of 36 or more, the risk was 11.6%
.
A person who is 5 feet 10 inches and 251 pounds has a BMI of 36.
.
"We showed both increased BMI and inactivity were independent risks of low
back pain," said lead author Matthew Smuck, a physician and associate
professor of orthopedic surgery at Stanford University Medical Center.
"Perhaps the best news out of this study is that big gains can be made by
making some incredibly modest changes in activity."
