Association between metabolic syndrome and disability due to low back pain among care workers.
To elucidate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and disability due to low back pain (LBP) among care workers. ⋯ This study showed that MetS was independently associated with disability due to LBP among care workers. A multidisciplinary intervention taking MetS into consideration may be an effective way to reduce disability due to LBP in people with both LBP and MetS.
