This study aimed to analyze longitudinal trends in the burden of LBP and its associated risk factors based on data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study and to project future trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Epidemiological data for LBP in China and globally were retrieved from the GBD 2021 database. Disease burden was characterized using summary tables and age\u2010dependent line graphs. Joinpoint regression analyses were used to investigate temporal trends in incidence rates and risk factors in China. The periods between identified joinpoints were analyzed by decomposition analysis to investigate the drivers of change. A log\u2010linear Poisson age\u2010period\u2010cohort model was fitted to age\u2010period\u2010specific incident counts, with the corresponding population exposure included as an offset, to estimate age, period, and birth cohort effects on LBP incidence. Finally, a Bayesian age\u2010period\u2010cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict the trend of the age\u2010standardized incidence rate of LBP in China.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 1990 to 2021, the number of prevalent cases and total years lived with disability (YLDs) due to LBP increased both globally and in China, while the age\u2010standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) and age\u2010standardized YLD rate (ASYR) decreased. The joinpoint regression analysis of incidence rates identified four significant turning points in China, which defined five periods over the past 30\u2009years. Decomposition analyses identified aging as a key driver of increased incident cases and showed the escalating impact of population growth. Occupational ergonomic factors were the main contributors to ASYR, while the impact of high BMI escalated significantly, reaching an annual percentage change (APC) of 3.65 in 2008\u20132021. Smoking was the most prominent factor for middle\u2010aged and older men. BAPC posterior means showed a marginal increase in incidence rates among men and a slight decrease among women; however, the 95% credible intervals widened substantially and overlapped by 2036. These findings should be interpreted as uncertain posterior mean patterns rather than firm future trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The absolute burden of LBP in China has increased over the past 30\u2009years in the context of demographic shifts, while age\u2010standardized rates have trended downward. The timing of this decline partly coincided with the implementation of key national health policies, raising the hypothesis that these policies may have contributed to the observed population\u2010level changes. However, temporal alignment in this descriptive ecological analysis does not establish causality or demonstrate policy effectiveness. To address the continuing burden, occupational health, weight management, and tobacco control remain important areas for prevention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/prm\/6863134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T13:29:39Z","timestamp":1789565379000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Burden, Risk Factor Analysis, and Prediction of Low Back Pain in China From 1990 to 2021"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3754-4397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antao","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9884-206X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanye","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chengwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6647-2129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenke","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuo","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0108-1243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuai","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5713-3484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenhua","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0967-6424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuexiao","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31815e7f94"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)30480-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2665-9913(23)00098-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)30488-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)30489-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)32058-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_7_2","volume-title":"Issued by the State Council","author":"National Health Commission of the People\u2019s Republic of China","year":"2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jot.2024.02.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2013-204428"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2013-204631"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30752-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2021.740200"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_13_2","first-page":"2601","article-title":"Volvo Award in Clinical Sciences.
