In a study out of Israel reported on by The Jerusalem Post and reporter Judy Siegel Itzkovich, people over the age of 30 – especially those who are overweight or have jobs with a lot of lifting and bending and suffer with  diseases like osteoarthritis or scoliosis and poor posture – are at high risk for lower back pain.
