Low back pain biggest source of global disability
Low back pain causes more disability around the globe than any other condition, and accounts for a third of all work related disability, according to new research.
Almost one in 10 people (9.4 per cent) worldwide suffer from low back pain, researchers found.
The prevalence of low back pain was highest in Western Europe, followed by North Africa and the Middle East, and lowest in the Caribbean and Latin America.
As world population growth gathers pace, and the proportion of elderly rises, the problem is set to worsen over coming decades, warn researchers, who urge governments and health services to take the issue more seriously than they have done so far.
