To analyze the development of low back pain (LBP) disease burden in BRICS countries (Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa) from 1990 to 2021 and provide a scientific basis for China and its partner countries to carry out low back pain prevention and transnational medical cooperation Methods: The burden of disease for low back pain was assessed by analyzing morbidity, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLD), and other disease burden indicators in BRICS countries in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study from 1990 to 2021. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using the Joinpoint regression model. Disease burden and risk factor attribution trends for patients with low back pain in BRICS countries were analyzed from 1990 to 2021. The Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict and analyze future trends in low back pain globally and in BRICS countries.The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized years lived with disability (ASYLD) for low back pain have generally decreased in China and India, while they have increased
