Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Self-reported 1-month prevalence of back pain in older twins assessed at intake in a population-based longitudinal survey. OBJECTIVES: To determine the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to back pain in old age. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: To date, genetic contributions to back pain in old age have not been assessed, to the authors' best knowledge. METHODS: Interview data...
