Concomitance of Obesity and Overweight with Disc Height and Disc Herniation in Lumbar Spine
Background & Aim: Low back pain is the most debilitating condition, and can lead to decreased physical function, compromised quality of life, and psychological distress. Several studies have been conducted to recognize the risk factors of low back pain, but despite of strong relationship between obesity and low back pain, the underlying mechanisms are unclear.

متن کاملResponse to: ‘A dose–response relationship between severity of disc degeneration and intervertebral disc height in the lumbosacral spine’
With much interest we read the recent paper by Teichtahl et al. [1], who gave novel insight into the association between disc degeneration and intervertebral disc height. The current golden standard, the Pfirrmann Score, has a good internal validity. However, its subjective nature, low discriminative power, and moderate relation to physiological and clinical parameters have inspired many invest...
متن کاملA Dose-response relationship between severity of disc degeneration and intervertebral disc height in the lumbosacral spine.
INTRODUCTION Varied definitions of disc pathology exist in the literature. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) classification systems incorporate several qualitative features including disc appearance, the distinction between the nucleus and the annulus, signal intensity and intervertebral disc height. The lack of a continuous measure has made it difficult to sensitively examine degenerative disc ...
