“…The results indicated that 41.78% reported pain in the lumbar region, 29.64% in the thoracic region, and 28.57% in the thoraciclumbar region (19). It is notable that both the study by Martinez-Crespo et al (19) and this study evaluated pain in different regions of the thoracic spine, but not pain in the cervical region.…”

“…A high prevalence of back pain was also found in one study with 887 adolescent students, which found that 66% of those evaluated experienced this type of pain. Furthermore, back pain was significantly higher in girls than in boys (19). Likewise, one cross-sectional study (25) that applied a questionnaire to 400 students aged 10 to 18 years in Kuwait found that the prevalence of pain in the lumbar spine increased with age.…”

Prevalence of back pain among high school students in a municipality in southern Brazil [I] Prevalência de dor nas costas em escolares do ensino médio em uma cidade no sul do Brasil [A] Cíntia Detsch Fonseca [a] , Cláudia Tarragô Candotti [a] , Matias Noll [a] , Anna Maria Hecker Luz [b] , Antônio Cardoso dos Santos [a] , Carlos Otávio Corso [a] * [a] Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil [b] Universidade Vale do Rio dos Sinos, (UNISINOS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil [R] Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of back pain in adolescent girls, and determine whether this pain is associated with socioeconomic, demographic, anthropometric, and behavioral factors. Methods: This was an epidemiological survey with a representative sample of 495 female high school students, aged 14 to 18 years, in the municipality of São Leopoldo in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire with closed, standardized, coded, and tested questions. Bivariate analysis included the chi-square test (x2) and calculation of prevalence ratios (α<0.05). Results: The prevalence of back pain was 75.2%. The thoracic-lumbar (30.4%) and lumbar (27.7%) regions of the spine were most affected. Among the students with pain, 60.5% reported the severity of their pain to be moderate to severe, and 21.2% reported that the pain prevented them from performing activities of daily living. Regarding associated factors, the pain was more prevalent in overweight/obese students (RP = 1.246, 95% CI: 1.137 to 1.366), who reported carrying a heavy school backpack/bag (PR = 1.187, 95% CI: 1.073 to 1.314) and those who had incorrect posture when picking up objects from the floor (PR = 1.138, 95% CI: 1.031 to 1.256). Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of back pain associated with body mass index, reported weight of the student's school backpack/bag, and posture when picking up objects from the floor.

“…This questionnaire is a valid and reproducible instrument consisting of 21 closed questions with different versions for males and females 31 . The questionnaire addresses issues such as the following: (1) back pain in the last three months (occurrence, frequency and intensity), (2) demographics (age and gender), (3) socioeconomic status (educational level of parents/guardians and school type); (4) behavioral factors (physical activity, reading/studying in bed, hours/day watching television and at the computer, hours of sleep per night), (5) postural factors (manner of sitting to write and to use the computer, means and manner of carrying school materials, manner of sleeping and manner of sitting on a bench) and (6) hereditary factors (occurrence of back pain in parents). In the present study, only questions 4-14, which relate to behavioral and postural habits, and questions 18 to 20, which relate to back pain, were used.…”

“…Back pain is a common occurrence in young students [1][2][3] , reaching a prevalence of over 60% [4][5][6] , and it is a phenomenon that has been reported in several countries 7 . There are many risk factors that predispose students to back pain, including gender 3,8,9 , age [9][10][11] , intense and competitive physical exercise 3,12,13 , abdominal force and resistance 14 , flexibility 15 , smoking 12,15 , being overweight 5,16, psychosocial factors such as depression and anxiety 17,18 , family history of back pain 13,19 and postural habits [20][21][22][23] .…”

Objetivos: verificar a prevalência de dor nas costas nos últimos três meses; identificar os hábitos posturais e comportamentais; e verificar se existe relação entre a dor nas costas e os hábitos de escolares do Ensino Fundamental da Rede Municipal de Ensino da cidade de Teutônia/RS. Método: trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico populacional, em que participaram 833 escolares de 5ª a 8ª séries de todas as Escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino da cidade de Teutônia. Os escolares responderam o questionário BackPEI que avaliou a dor nas costas e os hábitos comportamentais e posturais. A análise foi feita a partir de estatística descritiva, do cálculo das razões de prevalência (RP) e dos intervalos de confiança de 95%. A variável dependente foi a dor nas costas e as variáveis independentes foram as questões posturais e comportamentais. As RP foram realizadas por meio da análise multivariada, com variância robusta (a=0,05). Resultados: a prevalência de dor nas costas nos últimos três meses foi de 54,1%, a maioria referiu sentir dor uma vez por mês e 17,4% dos escolares referiram impedimento da realização das suas atividades diárias devido à dor. A análise multivariada demonstrou associação entre dor nas costas e tempo diário assistindo televisão (p = 0,046), postura adotada para dormir (p = 0,048) e sentar para escrever (p = 0,032). Conclusões: estes resultados são instigantes ao demonstrarem uma alta prevalência de dor nas costas em escolares, sugerindo ser urgente a necessidade do desenvolvimento de programas educativos e preventivos no âmbito escolar.

Background The objective of this study was to determine whether carrying a heavy schoolbag is associated to a higher prevalence of low back pain (LBP). Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted (PROSPERO, CRD42018077839). Observational studies analysing the relationship between schoolbag weight and LBP, were searched for in 20 electronic databases and 12 specialized journals until February 28th, 2019, without date or language restrictions. All studies which included ≥ 50 subjects aged 9 to 16, were reviewed. Methodological quality was assessed by two reviewers separately, using validated tools. A meta‐analysis and an individual patient data (IPD) meta‐analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between schoolbag weight and LBP. Certainty of evidence was assessed using an adapted GRADE methodology. Results 5,524 citations were screened, 21 studies (18,296 subjects) were reviewed and 11 studies (9,188 subjects) were included in the meta‐analysis. The IPD meta‐analysis included 9,188 subjects from seven studies. Among the 21 studies reviewed, the mean score for methodological quality was 78.3 of 100. Only one study suggested an association between heavier schoolbags and LBP. Neither the meta‐analysis nor the IPD meta‐analysis found an association between carrying schoolbags weighing > 10% of bodyweight, and LBP. No differences based on age, gender or sport activity were found. Discussion Available evidence does not support that schoolbags weighing > 10% of bodyweight are associated with a higher prevalence of LBP among schoolchildren aged 9–16. The certainty of evidence is low. Further research is required on the relationship between schoolbag weight and LBP. Significance This systematic review, with a meta‐analysis and an IPD meta‐analysis, failed to find a link between schoolbags weighing ≥ 10% of body weight and LBP among schoolchildren aged 9 to 16. Further longitudinal studies, with large samples, long follow‐up periods, and rigorous methods taking into account duration of carry and the physical capacity of each subject, are required in this field.
