Sekainow.com Because they often sit for too long and after waking up usually backs ached, but do not worry you are not alone.
But, did you know that back pain can also increase your risk of early death? A new study published in the European Journal of Pain says that it might happen.
Researchers studied 4,390 twins in Denmark aged 70 years and over. They found that people with back pain have a 13 percent higher risk of dying from any cause, compared with those without back pain.
Because the study was conducted on twins, researchers were able to rule out genetic disease risk factors that can lead to death, said the study's senior author, Paulo Ferreira, Ph.D., of the University of Sydney.
This finding is significant because many people think that back pain is not life threatening.
However, this study shows the opposite, back pain can actually serve as a red flag in terms of health risks.
Although the investigators could not establish a causal theory, is probably not the actual back pain causes premature death, Ferreira noted that there was a relationship between spinal pain and poor health conditions, including a limited functional ability.
This can lead to some serious health problems, for example; loss of functional abilities have a domino effect that could lead to a lower capacity of motion and muscle mass is reduced, resulting in immobility and other hazards.
For example, a person suffering from chronic pain and he can not move because it is also suffering from back pain, it can encourage feelings of depression which in turn may affect sleep patterns, selection of nutrition, stress level and respect yourself. Factors such as these, when combined, can increase the risk of death.
The problem will get worse if the drugs and surgery are not able to repair back pain, said Ferreira.
"The best treatment for back pain is a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity. Humans are designed to be physically active. If this is not met, there will be a lot of health problems, including obesity may boost the risk of heart disease and diabetes. "
