OVERVIEW•Catalyst
•Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY•Epidemiology of chronic low back pain
•Chronic low back pain in the seven major markets
•Datamonitor's forecast of chronic low back pain
DISEASE DEFINITION AND DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA •Low back pain background
•Low back pain definition and classification
GLOBAL VARIATION AND HISTORICAL TRENDS•Low back pain is difficult to compare due to varying definitions
•Low back pain causes significant morbidity but little mortality
•Trends in chronic low back pain are unclear
•Low back pain in children and adolescents - Prevalence is difficult to quantify due to varying definitions
- Risk factors for low back pain in children and adolescents are similar to those in adults
DRIVERS OF CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN EPIDEMIOLOGY•Individual factors - Low back pain prevalence increases with age until peaking by around the age of 60
- Gender is not significantly associated with low back pain
- Smoking is related to an increased risk of low back pain
- High body mass index and limited physical activity are associated with an increased risk of low back pain
•Psychosocial factors determine severity of pain and reporting of symptoms
•Occupational risk factors - Heavy lifting, twisting, and bending can significantly increase the likelihood of back pain
- Sedentary work and consistent whole-body vibration raise the risk of low back pain
•Causes associated with low back pain - Lumbar strain or sprain and fractures are the most common causes of back pain
- Nerve irritation
- Disc degeneration and herniation
- Bony encroachment
- Bone and joint conditions
- Other
