Abstract: Objective: To investigate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: (1) The BMI of 828 patients with LDH subjected to surgeries were divided into sex and agespecific (10year as a segment)subgroups. The BMI of each subgroup was determined and compared with the mean BMI value obtained from a large population of our country. (2) The relationship between BMI and sex ,age and occupation in those patients was analyzed. Results: (1) The mean BMI of patients except for women aged from 20 to 29 years, was much higher than that of the general population(P＜0.01). (2) The overweight ( BMI≥24 ) ratio of the patients was much higher than that of the general population(P＜0.01). (3) Patients with hypernormal BMI were more than those with normal BMI (BMI＜24) except for patients aged from 20 to 29 years. (4) Patients with hypernormal BMI were significantly more than those with normal body weight in all other occupations except for young students. Conclusion: Hypernormal BMI (overweight and obesity) may markedly increase the burden on lumbar discs, thus it speeds up disc degeneration. So, it may be an important causal factor for LDH.

Key words: Lumbar disc herniation, Body mass index, Overweight, Obesity, Pertinence
