Does sedentary time and physical activity predict chronic back pain and morphological brain changes? A UK biobank cohort study in 33,402 participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between sedentary time, physical activity, and chronic back pain remains unclear. The study aims to investigate whether sedentary time and physical activity predict chronic back pain and morphological brain changes.

Methods

This cohort study recruited adults aged 37-73 years enrolled between 2006 and 2010, with follow-up until 2014. The total cohort comprised 33,402 participants (mean age: 54.53). Data were collected on daily sedentary time, physical activity, lifestyle factors, and health outcomes.

Results

After nearly 8-year follow-up, 3,006 individuals (9.00%) reported chronic back pain in total. Individuals with daily sedentary time exceeding 6 h had a 33% higher risk of chronic back pain compared to those with sedentary time of 2 h or
