Resumen
ESPI-LOPEZ, Gemma Victoria et al. Obesity as a determining factor in low back pain: bibliographic review. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.3, pp.217-228. Epub 13-Ene-2020. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
low back pain (LBP) affects a large part of the population and it is, together with cervical pain, the main cause of disability. Obesity is an important risk factor, since it involves a high mechanical load on the spine. The objective of this review is to know the relationship of obesity as a determining factor in people with LBP and the elements that may act as risk factors.
Methods:
articles published in the last 5 years in Pubmed and Cochrane databases have been consulted.
Results:
12 studies were included and analysed.
Conclusion:
all authors agree that there is a link between obesity and the appearance or increase of LBP, with the exception of one article. In addition, the interaction of other risk factors in LBP can be observed.
Palabras clave : low back pain; lumbago; obesity; overweight.
