Back Pain Linked to Increased Mortality Risk in Women by Hannah Joy on April 22, 2021 at 12:17 PM
Mortality risk for women with back pain was found to be higher when compared to women without back pain, reveals a new research from Boston Medical Center.
Back pain was not associated with mortality among men indicating long-term consequences of back pain may differ by sex.
The overall findings suggest that mild back pain (pain that does not keep a person from exercising or doing daily activities) is unlikely to impact the length of one s life, but risk of mortality was increased among adults with more severe back pain.
