Abstract:
Objective:To assess the disease burden for low back pain in China in 2013 and analyzed the change of it between 1990 and 2013.
Methods:Data was from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013). The burden of low back pain (LBP) among age groups, gender groups, provinces (excluding Taiwan China) groups was assessed by years lived with disability (YLD), including YLD, YLD rate, proportion of YLD due to LBP. The change of the YLD for LBP was analyzed between 1990 and 2013 by age-standardized YLD rate using the world standard population of 2000-2025 WHO.
Results:In 2013, The YLD for LBP was 16 347 thousand (the leading cause of YLD in China), and the proportion of YLD in age group 30-59 years old was 54.6% (8 929/16 347) . The age-standardized rate in China was 1 072.6/100 000, and the rates in Guangdong (1 742.2/100 000) , Shanghai (1 227.8/100 000) and Beijing (1 136.6/100 000) were higher than in other provinces. The proportion of YLD due to LBP was 11.8%. LBP was the leading cause of YLD in China. Compared with 1990, the growth rates of age-standardized rate, proportion of YLD and YLD, were 5.6%, 25.5% and 72.1%, desperately.
Conclusion:Low back pain was the leading cause of YLD in China in 2013. Compared with 1990, the disease burden for low back pain increased rapidly.
