Abstract
It is known that overweight / obesity is a factor of risk
demonstrated for a multitude of diseases metabolic, cardiovascular,
visceral and osteoarticular. In addition, there is growing literature
evidence that relates obesity with an acceleration of the process of
lumbar disc degeneration and this with the presence of chronic low
back pain. Currently, obesity is defined based on the BMI, which can
be calculated by means of a simple formula that relates the weight
of the individual in kilograms with its height in meters raised to
square (BMI = Kg /m2) [1-3].
