Study looks at prevalence of back pain among youths

One-third of children and adolescents ages 10 to 18 reported having back pain during the previous year, with every year of increasing age associated with a nearly 4% higher prevalence in back pain reporting, but only 41% looked for treatment, researchers reported at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' annual meeting. The findings also showed that girls were more likely to report back pain, compared with boys.
