The prevalence of back and leg pain and the cross-sectional association with adverse health outcomes in community dwelling older adults in England

Spine Dec 16, 2020

Williamson E, Sanchez Santos MT, Morris A, et al. - This study was attempted to evaluate the prevalence of back pain (BP) and leg pain and determine their relationship with adverse health states among older adults in England. Researchers recruited a sum of 5,304 community-dwelling adults (aged 65–100 years) in the OPAL cohort study who provided data on BP and leg pain. Individuals were categorized into four groups based on reports of back and leg pain: no BP, BP only, BP and leg pain which was likely to be neurogenic claudication (NC), and BP and leg pain which was not NC. For older adults, back and leg pain is a common problem and correlated with decreased quality of life and adverse health states. Data imply a need to construct more effective treatment for older adults with BP particularly for those with neurogenic claudication.
