“…This study found that 12 months prevalence of LBP among T2DM participants was 55.3%. This is in line with the majority of LBP observed in other countries such as Nigeria (46.2%) and Iran (63.4%), which were studied by Idowu et al (2015) and Eivazi et al (2012), respectively. Most studies that compared the prevalence of LBP among diabetes with non-diabetes reveal that LBP is more frequent among diabetics.…”

“…This study revealed that people with diabetes who are working and have higher education levels were more likely to experience back pain. Eivazi et al (2012) also found a significant association between job status and LBP occurrence. Despite that, the association between educational levels was found in a study by Jimenez-Garcia et al (2018).…”

“…Idowu et al (2015) conducted a cross-sectional study on 143 diabetic patients and revealed a higher prevalence of self-reported LBP in T2DM patients (46.2%) compared to 143 healthy controls (31.5%). In the other hand, Iran population showed the similar finding with 63.4 % (Eivazi et al, 2012). In the United States, a study by Hassoon et al (2017) collected data using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2010 defined chronic LBP as the persistence of pain for three months.…”

“…Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale was used to measure the severity of LBP intensity (Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale, n.d.).The tool consists of a picture scale that describes how the subjects feel due to the pain due to lower back problems. As this type of pain measurement is easy to understand, simple and useful (Eivazi & Abadi, 2012), it is suitable for this online survey. The level of disability caused by LBP was evaluated using the Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (Hudson-Cook et al, 1989).…”

This study investigated the prevalence and associated factors of low back pain (LBP) among T2DM. LBP was assessed using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire, Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale for pain intensity and disability level was evaluated using the Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire. 55.3% of the T2DM participants suffered LBP in the last 12 months. Employment status (Χ2=4.088, p=0.043), education level (Χ2=8.572, p=0.018) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level (Χ2=6.381, p=0.041) were significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP. The current study found that the prevalence of LBP was high among T2DM patients. Keywords: Low back pain; type 2 diabetes mellitus; prevalence; disability eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors.

“…18 There is also an increased prevalence of low back pain in individuals with diabetes. 37 Musculoskeletal impairments may be associated with joint mobility limitation and tissue changes, due to the accumulation of nonenzymatic advanced-glycation end products. 73,94 Advanced-glycation end-product accumulation results in thicker and stiffer collagen tissues, in particular those with low turnover, such as tendons, skin, and discs, 54 thus increasing the risk of contracture and musculoskeletal injury.…”

BACKGROUND-In 2014, the total prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 422 million people worldwide. Due to the aging population and continued increase in obesity rates, the prevalence is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035. Diabetes can lead to several complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, lower extremity amputation, and musculoskeletal impairments.CLINICAL QUESTION-Up to 80% of patients referred for outpatient physical therapy have diabetes or are at risk for diabetes, providing an opportunity for physical therapists to intervene. Therefore, we asked, "What is the role of physical therapists in fighting the diabetes epidemic?" KEY RESULTS-Physical therapists commonly prescribe physical activity for the treatment of diabetes and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis. Physical therapists may also screen for risk factors for diabetes and diabetes-related complications and modify traditional musculoskeletal exercise prescription accordingly. Physical therapists must advocate for regular physical activity as a key component of the treatment of chronic diseases in all patient interactions.CLINICAL APPLICATION-This commentary (1) describes the diabetes epidemic and the health impact of diabetes and diabetes-related complications, (2) highlights the physical therapist's role as front-line provider, and (3) provides recommendations for physical therapists in screening for diabetes risk factors and diabetes-related complications and considerations for patient management. We focus on type 2 diabetes.
