What biomechanical factors of the golf swing are associated with low back pain, the most prevalent injury amongst golfers of all levels?
Based on the evidence available, difficult to say.
More research, using prospective design, needed!

Key learnings:
☀️ Golf is associated with increased UV exposure and a mild increase in skin cancer risk
☀️ Golfers, the golf industry and policy makers can help minimise risk
☀️ Further research needed
