Extra Pounds Hurt Your Health And Your Back...
Dear Reader,
Back pain is one of our modern world's most common complaints. A recent study in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism has found that more severe lumbar spinal disc degeneration is found in overweight and obese patients than in those of normal weight. In fact, too much weight may be one of the causes of debilitating lower back pain according to experts.
Earlier work has linked a higher body mass index (BMI for short) to complaints of lower back pain. That dull, lingering ache or the sharp, sudden pain that takes your breath away can come on suddenly (lifting, accident, fall) or over time because of changes in the spine that come with aging. No matter what the cause, those who deal with this type of pain on a regular basis know that it can impact both your physical and mental well being as well as limit how well you get around, reduce your quality of life, not to mention being associated with lots of expenses for both the patient and the system at large.
The latest research on back pain and weight involved just over 1,000 men and almost 1,600 women over 21 from southern China who were recruited between 2001 and 2009. They were all from different social and economic backgrounds.
The team conducted assessments and MRIs of the lumbar spine for all participants. At the start of the study, 73% of the subjects had lumbar disc degeneration, though it was more common in men than women, and more likely in older people.
The weight of the study subjects broke down as follows...
- 7% were underweight
- 48% were normal weight
- 36% were classified as overweight
- 9% were considered obese
The study confirms that a higher BMI brought a significant increase in the extent and severity of the degeneration of the disc. End stage disc degeneration was most pronounced in the obese subjects according to Dr. Dino Samartzis of the University of Hong Kong.
Still, the authors realize that disc degeneration is a complicated process that probably involves both structural and chemical changes in the disc itself.
The researchers theorize that as a person gains weight, the disc degeneration happens because of the physical load on the disc itself. Fat cells might also play a part by bringing on chronic, low-grade inflammation.

Extra Pounds Hurt Your Health And Your Back... Continued...
Beyond your weight, there are other risk factors known to contribute to back
pain including getting older (first attack happen between 30 and 40), how fit
you are (pain is more common among those who aren't fit), what you eat because
lots of calories and fat can add pounds and stress the spine, your genes, your
race (African American women are two times more likely to develop back problems
than whites) and the presence of other disease like arthritis and cancers.
The work you do can certainly play a part in back pain, a job that calls for
heavy lifting, pushing, pulling and such can put you at risk for pain or injury
to the spine - just as an inactive (desk) job with poor posture or an uncomfortable
chair can bring pain in the back.
Smokers run a higher risk of low back pain - whether because the smoking blocks
the body's ability to deliver nutrients to the disks, slows healing or that repeated
coughing stresses muscles and brings pain - though no one knows why.
When researchers and other health care professionals think about the many obese
and overweight people in the world today, they are concerned. Findings like these
shine a light on the potential impact of all that weight we're all carrying.
Spine health is so important in order to maintain our mobility as we age. Doing
all you can to see that your own spine stays healthy is key, and one of those
things is keeping the pounds from settling in.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
