4. Obesity
Besides diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases, obesity is also responsible for causing lordosis. Being overweight strains your bone, especially the vertebrae tampering with your upright posture and causing severe back pain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 13 percent of the world’s adult population was obese as of 2016.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people consider the dangers of developing lordosis when they are overweight even when there’s a direct correlation between obesity and lordosis. Obese children are also at risk of suffering lordosis, just like adults. WHO statistics indicate that as of 2016, 41 million kids under the age of 5 years old were obese.
Obesity is undoubtedly a huge global concern, especially in light of the various health problems they are likely to get exposed to. On the upside, a few lifestyle changes can resolve obesity. However, when you are unable to lose weight on your own, some other medical treatments and procedures can help you overcome obesity.
