The lifetime incidence and prevalence of low back pain among 32 retired wrestlers (ages 39 to 62 years) and 13 retired heavyweight lifters (ages 40 to 61 years) were evaluated and compared to the corresponding results in a cross-sectional study of 716 men (ages 40 to 47 years). The radiologic findings and the findings upon physical examination in the athletes were compared to the findings in another study of normal, active, similarly aged men who were sampled at random. The lifetime incidence and prevalence of low back pain was higher among the wrestlers (59%) compared with both the lifters (23%) and the control group (31%). The tolerance for backache seemed to be higher among the athletes than the controls. A higher frequency of old fractures was found among the wrestlers. The athletes with fractures had a higher frequency of low back pain. A significant decrease in disk height was found among the lifters.
对32名退休摔跤运动员（年龄39至62岁）和13名退休举重运动员（年龄40至61岁）的腰痛终生发病率和患病率进行了评估，并与一项针对716名男性（年龄40至47岁）的横断面研究的相应结果进行了比较。将运动员的影像学检查结果和体格检查结果与另一项对随机抽取的年龄相仿、正常且活跃的男性进行的研究结果进行了比较。与举重运动员（23%）和对照组（31%）相比，摔跤运动员的腰痛终生发病率和患病率更高（59%）。运动员对背痛的耐受性似乎高于对照组。在摔跤运动员中发现旧骨折的频率更高。有骨折的运动员腰痛频率更高。在举重运动员中发现椎间盘高度有显著降低。
