Abstract

Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, may be a hidden driver of chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study explores the link between declining muscle quality and persistent back pain, highlighting the importance of early detection, exercise, and nutrition in prevention and treatment. A stronger back starts with stronger muscles. #Sarcopenia #LowBackPain #ChronicPain #MuscleHealth #HealthyAging.
