TLDR
The data suggest that DD alone is not associated with low back pain, and the combination of DD and ESC was highly associated with LBP.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Increased low back pain prevalence in females than in males after menopause age: evidences based on synthetic literature review.
TL;DR: This literature review aims to validate or falsify this hypothesis, i.e., while overall females have higher prevalence of low back pain (LBP) across all age groups, this male vs. female difference in LBP prevalence further increases after female menopause age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic low back pain in relation to Modic changes, bony endplate lesions, and disc degeneration in a prospective MRI study
TL;DR: In patients with chronic non-specific LBP, persisting M1, decreasing disc height, and increasing bony endplate lesions associated with persisting pain while decrease of SI of the disc with decrease of pain is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathomechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration
TL;DR: An overview of the prevalence and epidemiologic risk factors of IDD is provided, followed by the descriptions of anatomic, cellular, and molecular structure of the intervertebral disc as well as the molecular pathophysiology ofIDD.

TL;DR: The results from this comprehensive systematic review indicate that the associations between MCs and LBP-related outcomes are inconsistent and it is likely that new studies with low risk of bias will affect the direction and strength of these associations.

TL;DR: This 4-year longitudinal study is the first to demonstrate DD progression and incidence in the lumbar spine and their risk factors in a large population-based cohort.

Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic resonance classification of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration.
TL;DR: Disc degeneration can be graded reliably on routine T2-weighted magnetic resonance images using the grading system and algorithm presented in this investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological features of chronic low-back pain
TL;DR: Because the validity and reliability of some of the existing data are uncertain, caution is needed in an assessment of the information on this type of pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal magnetic-resonance scans of the lumbar spine in asymptomatic subjects. A prospective investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed magnetic resonance imaging on sixty-seven individuals who had never had low-back pain, sciatica, or neurogenic claudication, and found that about one-third of the subjects were found to have a substantial abnormality.

TL;DR: On MRI examination of the lumbar spine, many people without back pain have disk bulges or protrusions but not extrusions, and the discovery by MRI of bulging disks in people with low back pain may frequently be coincidental.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of low back pain cost of illness studies in the United States and internationally.
TL;DR: This review did not identify any studies estimating the total costs of LBP in the United States from a societal perspective, but such studies may be helpful in determining appropriate allocation of health-care resources devoted to this condition.
