“…The deleterious effects of CLBP on mental health may be at least partially mediated by chronic pain, impaired quality of life (Aminde et al 2020), physical disability (da C Menezes Costa et al 2012, and social isolation (Hawthorne et al 2013). In turn, psychiatric comorbidities are known to negatively impact work participation and lead to sick leave.…”

CLBP is in turn significantly associated with disability (da C Menezes Costa et al 2012), impaired mental health (Atkinson et al 1991), and low quality of life (Aminde et al 2020).…”

“…Although the literature notes that psychosocial and emotional factors play important roles in the occurrence of low back pain [ 10 ] and can reduce the quality of life (QoL), few studies have investigated how low back pain impairs the perceived QoL among school-going children [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Because of the association between psychosocial factors and low back pain, and considering that these factors determine health-related quality of life (HRQoL), this study aimed to investigate the impact of low back pain on the perceived HRQoL in children and adolescents who are attending school.…”
