According to a meta-analysis of 97 Indian studies published in the journal Work in 2022, nearly one in two Indians have back pain at any given time, and two in three will experience it at some point in their lives, which is higher than the global figure. According to the World Health Organization, back pain is the largest single cause of disability worldwide. In 2020, 61.9 million people in the world were affected by it, it will reach 84.3 million by 2050. The highest increase is likely to occur in Asia and Africa. The good thing is that most back pain can be controlled. According to the WHO, regular physical activity, proper weight, good sleep and proper seating arrangements at the workplace help prevent recurrence of pain.
