Arthritis Rheum 48:2615-21. 2003..It remains to be determined whether these are long-term risk factors for the onset of such symptoms, and whether they could be predictors of the development of other functional syndromes...
Low back pain in schoolchildren: occurrence and characteristicsKath D Watson
