New research from Boston Medical Center (via Journal of General Internal Medicine, April 2021) identifies elevated mortality risk for women with low back pain when compared to women without  low back pain.

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 low 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 low back pain. This new study raises the question of whether better management of back-related pain and disability, over time, may extend life.
