Disabling Low Back Pain and Depressive Symptoms in the Community-Dwelling Elderly: A Prospective Study
Abstract
In Brief Study Design. Analytic cross-sectional and cohort study. Objective. This study examines the prevalence and associations of low back pain (LBP) and depressive symptoms in a large population of elderly (65+), community-dwelling subjects. Summary of Background Data. In adults, depression has been identified as predictive for LBP, while depression has also been found to be a possible consequence of LBP. Methods. Data of the Health Outcomes Survey that include a baseline (N = 91,347) and a follow-up survey (N = 55,690) after 2 years were analyzed cross-sectionally and prospectively. Degree of depressive symptoms and disabling LBP were described at both time points, as well as their interrelationships. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to model the effects of different sociodemographic, clinical, and functional variables on LBP and depressive symptoms after 2 years. Results. Depressive symptoms were found in about 20% of the sample. Baseline depression symptoms increased the odds of disabling LBP after 2 years independently of sociodemographic characteristics, medical, and functional status. Disabling LBP at baseline increased the odds of depressive symptoms after 2 years to a similar degree. Conclusion. Among community-dwelling elderly persons, depressive symptoms and disabling LBP are widespread. Depressive symptoms predict disabling LBP and vice versa. The set of predictors and their extent of contribution to the prognosis are strikingly similar. Research is warranted to identify possible common pathogenic mechanisms or mediating factors. This analytic cross-sectional and cohort-study examines the prevalence and the associations of disabling low back pain and depressive symptoms in elderly, community-dwelling subjects. Depressive symptoms and low back pain proved to be widespread. Depressive symptoms predict low back pain and vice versa, after controlling for sociodemographic, clinical, and functional variables.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
