That’s one aspect of it but the main cause is weakness of the lower back muscles. This is in the case of office workers, if you have a manual job the causes could be many. But all of the causes can be addressed to a certain degree with deadlifts to strengthen to lower back muscles. But people don’t want to lift weights so 🤷🏽‍♂️

There are plenty of body weight exercises like squats and lunges that can strengthen the back. I think more than weights, people simply don't like to do targeted exercises.

Running also strengthens the back

Big if true, I just started running again this year. Ran a fair bit almost a decade ago, still have back pain though.

Sure, you can't run 5k without good posture. Can't hold good posture without some core strength
