Low back pain or Dolor Lumbar is the most common musculoskeletal condition that affects millions of people globally. It is a leading cause of disability, loss of productivity, and healthcare expenditure. Low back pain affects people of all ages but is more prevalent in older people aged 65 years and above. This is because aging leads to the degeneration of the spinal discs and joints. Other factors that contribute to low back pain include poor posture, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, and genetics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low back pain on older people, and to identify the risk factors, prevalence, and management strategies for this condition.
