Our participants were quite normal middle-aged adults, who sat a great deal, exercised little, and had gained some extra weight. These factors not only increase the risk for cardiovascular disease but also for back pain, says Doctoral Researcher and Physiotherapist Jooa Norha from the University of Turku in Finland.
However, we did not observe that the changes in back pain were related to changes in the fattiness or glucose metabolism of the back muscles, Norha says.
