The impact of body mass index and central obesity on the spino-pelvic parameters: a correlation study
2013
Introduction
Obesity is an increasing problem of epidemic proportion, and it is associated with various musculoskeletal disorders, including impairment of the spine. However, the relationship between obesity and spino-pelvic parameters remains to date unsupported by an objective measurement of the mechanical behavior of the spino-pelvic parameters depending on body mass index (BMI) and the presence of central obesity. Such analysis may provide a deeper understanding of this relationship.
