Caption: Walking 100 Minutes a Day Could Cut Risk of Chronic Back Pain, Study Finds. New research reveals that getting more steps in could significantly reduce your risk of chronic low back pain, a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A study published in JAMA Network Open shows that walking 100 minutes or more a day is linked to a 23% lower risk of developing chronic back pain. Lead researcher Rayane Haddadj from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology emphasizes that walking is an easy, low-cost activity that can be widely promoted as a preventive measure. With 600 million people worldwide affected by low back pain, this simple activity could have a global impact. By 2050, experts predict 843 million people will suffer from chronic back pain. Dr. Natasha Pocovi from Macquarie University highlights the importance of prevention, noting that this study shows physical activity, especially brisk walking, can help protect against the condition.
