Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for the development of chronic lower back pain in older workers.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study using an Internet survey of workers aged 60-75 years, with a baseline survey conducted in September 2022 and a follow-up survey in October 2023. A total of 2257 participants who did not have chronic lower back pain in the baseline survey were included in the analysis, and the risk factors for chronic lower back pain were examined by logistic regression analysis.
Results: The median age of the analyzed participants was 63.0 years, and the incidence of chronic lower back pain was 9.0%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that poor sleep habits (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-2.26), poor eating habits (aOR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.03-2.01), no physical activity (aOR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.00-2.09), and high stress (aOR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.13-2.32) were significantly associated with the occurrence of chronic lower back pain.
Conclusion: A comprehensive multidisciplinary collaboration program incorporating the assessment and management of lifestyle habits and mental health issues should be developed and implemented to prevent chronic lower back pain in older workers.

Department of Radiology, The Fourth Clinical Medical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital), Shenzhen, China.
Background: Multifrequency MR elastography (mMRE) enables noninvasive quantification of renal stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Manual segmentation of the kidneys on mMRE is time-consuming and prone to increased interobserver variability.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of mMRE combined with automatic segmentation in assessing CKD severity.
Severe Maternal Morbidity Associated With Chronic Hypertension, Preeclampsia, and Gestational Hypertension.
JAMA Netw Open

Magee-Womens Research Institute, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Epidemiology and Clinical and Translational Research, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: Chronic hypertension and preeclampsia are leading risk enhancers for maternal-neonatal morbidity and mortality. Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) indicators include heart, kidney, and liver disease, but studies have not excluded patients with preexisting diseases that define SMM. Thus, SMM risks for uncomplicated chronic hypertension specific to preeclampsia remain unclear.
