Does the risk of chronic low back pain depend on age at menarche or menopause? A population-based cross-sectional and cohort study: the Trøndelag Health Study.

Still other studies recorded pain scores for general back pain 36 or LBP 37 38 and found either an increasing trend in scores moving to later postmenopausal stages 36 37 or essentially no difference between periods. 38 If there is a short-term increase in risk of back pain during particular periods following menopause, the effect will not necessarily become apparent in analyses of associations with age at menopause such as those carried out in the present study.
