The most common source of low back in this population is lumbar bone stress injury (LBSI) or spondylolysis, while only of the adult population will suffer such conditions (2). . It is suggested in the literature that adolescents are at a greater risk of back pain due to the changes that occur in the spinal column during puberty, periods of rapid growth and their immature skeletal system (3).

Millions of renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities, a situation that housing experts call being cost burdened. High rents affect almost all segments of the population but are an especially heavy burden for immigrants, particularly those who have not yet become U.citizens.
