Early age at menarche is associated with post ‐menarche back pain: An analysis of the Raine Study
ConclusionThere is evidence of an association, in this cohort, of early AAM with post-menarche BP. This result identifies an area for future exploration, including understanding this mechanism which may lead to the development of effective intervention measures.SignificanceAge at menarche is related to a range of health issues. This study sought to investigate if it was a risk factor for spinal pain. We used an existing Australian data base to explore this possibility and found an association with early age onset and post-menarche back pain. This result identifies an area for future exploration, including understanding this mechanism which may lead to the development of effective intervention measures.
