Low back pain is a major public health problem all over the world. It is generally assumed that overweight, height and low back pain are related. However, the scientifi c evidence to support this relationship is not fully conclusive. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of low back pain and its association with height, fat distribution, reproductive history and socioeconomic infl uence. A representative sample of 401 men and 403 women aged 20 years and above were selected and studied. It is found that 28.4% and 52.9% respectively were having low back pain. Height and fat distribution were found to have no association with low back pain. Both men and women, whose household were in the lower socio economic status reported more back pain (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for men 1.61, 95% confi dence interval (CI): 1.02, 2.55 and AOR for women 1.57, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.34). Men with lower educational qualifi cation reported more back pain (AOR 1.89, 95% CI: 1.08, 3.31). In women, those who have undergone caesarean section (AOR 1.661, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.72) and sterilization (AOR 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.44) were found to be a positively associated with low back pain. The only socioeconomic link with back pain among women seemed to be manual occupation (AOR 3.33, 95% CI: 1.49, 7.4). The fi nding confi rms the higher burden of back pain on the socially disadvantaged, but cannot yet be explained by known risk factors.

Low back pain (LBP) ranks first for disability and sixth for overall burden on world health, with an annual approximate cost of $135 billion. There are limited data on the prevalence and risk factors for LBP in developing countries, such as India. To assess the prevalence, pain intensity, and quality of life (QOL) associated with LBP in northern India. Cross-sectional study. Northern states of India. Adult population of different strata of the community were interviewed. Lifetime, point, 1-year, and age standardized lifetime prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and QOL, and pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) were determined. Binary logistic regression test was conducted to determine the predictors of LBP prevalence; odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI are presented. Significance level was set at P <= 0.05. A total of 1,531 patients were interviewed of whom 48% were men and mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 32 (10) years. Lifetime, point, 1-year, and age ...

Association of Low Back Pain with Common Risk Factors: A Community Based Study
Background: Low back pain is very common in Asian communities. It is a major cause of activity limitation. Its risk factors were not studied well in Asian communities. This study was performed in the rural area to see the association of some common posture related and modifiable risk factors of low back pain. Methods: This is a community based case-control study. Participants of both sexes between 30 and 60 years were selected who had low back pain. Data were collected with a semi-structured questionnaire and fifty-one participants were interviewed from which 32 had back pain (cases). Risk factor association was compared with age and ethnicity matched 19 patients without low back pain (control group). Results: The point prevalence of low backache was 63%. Mean age of the patients was 45.8 (±10.8 SD) years. Seventy per cent of the back pain patients were females and 30% were males. Back pain was significantly associated with the risk factor 'bending and twisting movements of the body' (OR= 4.6 with 95% CI= 1.1 to 18.9, p= 0.041). It was not found to be significantly associated with the other studied risk factors. Conclusion: Low back pain had a very high prevalence in rural Bangladesh. Bending and twisting movements of spine was the only posture related significant risk factor of low back pain.
STUDY ON FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN IN WESTERN INDIA
National Journal of Medical Research, 2016
Introduction: Low back pain is a leading cause of disability. It occurs in similar proportions in all cultures, interferes with quality of life and work performance, and is the most common reason for medical consultations. Few cases of back pain are due to specific causes; most cases are non-specific. Acute back pain is the most common presentation and is usually self-limiting, lasting less than three months regardless of treatment. Chronic back pain is a more difficult problem, which often has strong psychological overlay: work dissatisfaction, boredom, and a generous compensation system contribute to it. Methodology: This is a retrospective study. The study was conducted in private multispecialty hospital of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Data from April 2014 to March 2015 was analyzed. Permission was taken from the hospital authority to conduct the study and stringent confidentiality of data was maintained at all levels of the project. Result: We have analyzed data of 210 patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain. People between age of 36 years to 40 years were most common culprits. Among these, 82 (39.05%) were male and 128 (60.95%) were female. Among males, 65 (79.27) were overweight (BMI >= 25.00) and among females, 95 (74.22%) were overweight. Disc prolapse was most common diagnosis in both males and females. It was followed by fractures and Lumber spondylosis. Conclusion: Females were more affected by Lower back pain. People in age group of 36 years to 40 years were commonly affected. Disc prolapsed was most common the most common diagnosis.
Low Back Pain Prevalence and Associated Factors in
2012
There are very few studies that had a sample size sufficient to explore the association between factors related to low back pain in a representative sample of the Iranian population. Objective. To examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors, smoking, obesity, and low back pain in Iranian people. Methods. We used Iranian adults respondents (n = 25307) from the National Health Survey. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated by using logistic regression. Results. The prevalence of low back pain was found in 29.3% of the studied sample. High age, female sex, being married, obesity, low-economic index, being smoker, in a rural residence, and low educational attainment, all increased the odds of low back pain. Conclusions. Our findings add to the evidence on the importance of obesity in relation to low back pain. These results can be used as a basis to reinforce health programs to prevent obesity.
