Fitness, Motor Competence, and Body Composition Are Weakly Associated With Adolescent Back Pain
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 06/04/09

Perry M et al. - Physical characteristics are commonly cited as important risk factors in back pain development. Although some factors were associated with adolescent back pain, and these differed between boys and girls, they made only a small contribution to logistic regression models for back pain. The results suggest future work should explore the interaction of multiple domains of risk factors (physical, lifestyle, and psychosocial) and subgroups of adolescent back pain, for whom different risk factors may be important.
