Disability was measured with the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) at baseline, 6\u2009weeks, 3, 6, 9\u2009months and annually to 5\u2009years. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) identified trajectories; multinomial regression examined baseline predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 669 participants. A four\u2010class LCGA model provided the best fit and identified four trajectories: \u201cRecovery trajectory\u201d (38.5%; mean baseline RMDQ\u2009=\u20095.4; improved), \u201cIncomplete recovery trajectory\u201d (28.1%; mean baseline RMDQ\u2009=\u20099.6; improved), \u201cPersistent moderate disability\u201d (22.3%; mean baseline RMDQ\u2009=\u200913.3; stable), and \u201cPersistent high disability\u201d (11.1%; mean baseline RMDQ\u2009=\u200917.7; stable). Most disability improvement occurred within the first 6\u2009months, and 66.6% of participants followed improved trajectories. Older age, higher BMI, higher pain intensity, presence of depressive symptoms, less optimistic back pain beliefs, BP history, and radiating leg pain were associated with membership to worse trajectories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified four distinct 5\u2010year trajectories of disability in older people with BP. Most patients followed a trajectory with very low disability, while the smallest group followed a high disability trajectory.
