Abstract
Low back pain is the leading worldwide cause of years lost to disability and its burden
is growing alongside the increasing and ageing population.1 Because these population
shifts are more rapid in low-income and middle-income countries, where adequate resources
to address the problem might not exist, the effects will probably be more extreme
in these regions. Most low back pain is unrelated to specific identifiable spinal
abnormalities, and our Viewpoint, the third paper in this Lancet Series,2,3 is a call
for action on this global problem of low back pain.
