Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Heritability and population-specific lifestyle factors are considered to significantly contribute to chronic low back pain (LBP), but traditional population studies fail to (1) adjust for genetics; and (2) use standard and validated definitions for LBP and for lifestyle factors. METHODS: Using a classical and a co-twin control study design and validated definitions for chronic LBP and lifestyle...
