Regional Fat Distribution

Abstract Obesity is associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP), but the association between fat distribution and CLBP is currently unclear. We designed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between the two, including 10,606 people who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We estimated the regional fat distribution as well as waist circumference and body fat proportion, and compared the values in people with and without CLBP. We also stratified the estimates by sex and obesity status. The average waist circumference was not significantly different between the CLBP (80.8 cm) and non-CLBP groups (80.7 cm, p = 0.606). There were no statistically significant differences in the average fat proportion between the CLBP (26.5%) and non-CLBP groups (26.6%, p = 0.631). The average regional fat distribution in the lower limbs was significantly higher in the CLBP (31.9%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [31.6, 32.2]) than in the CLBP groups (31.4%, 95% CI: [31.2, 31.6], p < 0.001); this pattern was more obvious in men with obesity. People, particularly men, with CLBP and obesity tend to have a higher fat mass distribution in the lower limbs than those without CLBP, suggesting that fat reductions in the lower body may aid in CLBP management.

Abstract Objectives To assess the prevalence of chronic neck pain (CNP), chronic low back pain (CLBP), and migraine headache (MH) in the Spanish population and to identify sociodemographic and health-related variables associated with CNP, CLBP, and MH. Design Observational study. Setting Spain. Subjects A total of 22,511 persons 18 years of age or older (10,304 males and 12,207 females) who participated in the 2017 Spanish National Health Survey. Methods Stratified three-stage sampling was applied. CNP, CLBP, and MH were the dependent variables. The analysis was conducted separately by gender. Sociodemographic features, self-perceived health status, lifestyle habits, comorbidities, and pain features were analyzed by using logistic regression models. Results Females reported a higher prevalence of CNP, CLBP, and MH (P &lt; 0.001) than males. For both sexes, anxiety and/or depression and poor self-rated health were associated with a significantly increased prevalence of CNP, CLBP, and MH. For CNP and CLBP, the identified associated factors were older age and limitations to usual activity. For CNP and MH, the most common associated factor was comorbid respiratory disease. Conclusions Our study identified several factors associated with CNP, CLBP, and MH in Spanish female and male adults, with potential implications for health care providers.
