TL;DR: This work discusses common risk factors and emerging links between OA and T2DM, emphasizing the importance of physical activity and the implications of safe and effective physical activity.

TL;DR: The transition from acute to chronic low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent, with a presumed favorable prognosis; however, once chronic, LBP becomes a disabling and expensive condition, and it is unknown whether a standardized prognostic tool (i.e., Subgroups for Targeted Treatment Back tool [SBT]) can estimate this transition or whether early non-guideline concordant treatment is associated with the transition as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: To characterize physical activity in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and to determine the associations between PA participation at light to moderate intensities and cardiovascular disease risk factors, disability, and disease activity.

TL;DR: In this article, a pragmatic, cluster randomized trial using 77 primary care clinics in four health care systems across the United States was conducted to test if implementation of a risk-stratified approach to care would result in lower rates of chronic LBP and improved self-reported disability.

TL;DR: To describe and compare triennial rates of physicians’ recommendations for physical therapy, lifestyle counseling, and pain medication for knee osteoarthritis, and to identify patient, physician, and practice factors associated with each treatment recommendation.
