While frailty is a known risk factor, previous studies have been largely cross-sectional, thus the impact of dynamic changes in frailty on incident LBP is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of changes in frailty status with incident LBP.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This prospective cohort study utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including 9,174 participants aged ≥45 years without LBP at the start of follow-up. Frailty status (robust, pre-frail, frail) was determined using a 30-item Frailty Index (FI) at baseline (2011) and two years later (2013). Dynamic changes were defined by transitions between these states. Incident LBP was the primary outcome, ascertained via follow-up until 2020. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The study included 9,174 participants (mean age 59.2 years; 47.9% female) followed for a median of 7.48 years, during which 3,437 incident LBP cases were identified. Compared with participants who remained robust, those who progressed to a pre-frail or frail status had a significantly increased risk of incident LBP (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.32−1.66). Progression from pre-frail to frail also increased risk (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.35−1.69) compared to remaining pre-frail. Conversely, recovery was protective; participants improving from pre-frail to robust (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.61−0.78) or from frail to less frail status (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.66−0.90) had significantly lower risks than their stable counterparts.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Frailty is a dynamic and powerful predictor of incident LBP. Progression towards frailty significantly elevates LBP risk, while recovery is protective. These findings establish a temporal relationship, positioning frailty as a critical, modifiable target for LBP prevention. Integrating frailty assessment into routine clinical care may be a key strategy to reduce the burden of LBP in aging populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition Health & Aging","volume":"30 2","pages":"Article 100771"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145939254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
