Estudos têm demonstrado que indivíduos que apresentam dor lombar na infância e adolescência são acometidos também na vida adulta, reforçando a importância de que as causas sejam investigadas desde a idade escolar. Avaliou-se a ocorrência de dor lombar e fatores associados em 770 escolares de 7 a 17 anos de idade de uma escola privada de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A dor lombar foi definida como dor ou desconforto na região lombar no último mês e avaliada por meio de questionário. A ocorrência de dor lombar foi de 31,6%, sendo mais prevalente no sexo feminino (41,9%) do que no masculino (21,4%). Os fatores associados à dor lombar foram sexo feminino, idade de 9 a 17 anos e os aspectos psicossociais hiperatividade (categorias limítrofe e anormal) e sintomas emocionais (categoria anormal). O mapeamento da ocorrência de dor lombar, bem como a investigação de seus fatores associados é de fundamental importância para a identificação de crianças e adolescentes em risco e para o desenvolvimento de programas eficazes de prevenção primária.

“…Despite the ample evidence of associations between SES and health, relations to a specific disease, not investigated specifically, cannot be taken for granted. Specifically for back pain, there is conflicting evidence with regard to a possible association to SES in both adulthood [6][7][8][9] and childhood/adolescence [10][11][12].…”

Does socioeconomic status in adolescence predict low back pain in adulthood? A repeated cross-sectional study of 4,771 Danish adolescents

Social and economic disadvantage is associated with general poor physical health. This relationship has been recognised for centuries, but it is unknown whether socioeconomic factors have a specific influence on low back pain (LBP). Furthermore, it is unknown how social and economic disadvantages in youth affect adult health. Therefore, the specific objectives of this study are to explore (1) the cross-sectional association between socioeconomic status (SES) and LBP in adolescence and (2) the longitudinal association between SES in adolescence and LBP in early adulthood. A database containing LBP data from 4,771 twins was merged with their parents' social and economic data, available from Statistics Denmark. Low back pain data ['any low back pain' and 'persistent low back pain (more than 30 days)'] were collected in 1994, when the subjects were 12-18 years of age, and collected again eight years later. Socioeconomic data of the parents (education, income, social class and long-term illness, all for both mother and father) were collected in 1994. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the associations between each parameter of parental SES in adolescence and LBP at baseline as well as at follow-up. Finally, the influence of a variable combining the different socioeconomic parameters was established. All estimates were controlled for smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index at baseline. In the logistic regression models, only three of the 32 estimates were statistically significant. When merging the socioeconomic variables into a combined score, the results indicated that a good social background had a protective effect against the persistent LBP, while there was no association with any LBP. However, the statistical significance of this effect was unclear. We found no or very weak indications of possible relationships between social factors in adolescence and LBP at baseline and at follow-up.

“…The instrument applied in the present study was the adjusted version of a questionnaire widely used to verify LBP in adolescents (16,18,19) , proposed by Salminen (personal communication, 1996), derived from a Nordic questionnaire (20) , validated for brazilian adolescents by Oliveira et al (21) . The questionnaire includes a design of the lumbar region and defines as LBP any pain or discomfort that occurred during the previous year, unrelated to trauma or menstrual pain.…”

Background: The prevalence of low back pain in adolescents is close to that found in the adult population. In view of the relationship between low back pain and the resistance of the spine stabilizing muscles, studies have sought to identify the ability of specific motor tests to predict this condition. Objectives: Our objective was to verify the predictive ability of three motor tests related to musculoskeletal fitness to identify adolescents with low back pain. Methods: The sample consisted of 150 adolescents, of both sexes, aged between 15 and 19 years. The Nordic questionnaire validated for Brazilian adolescents was applied to identify those with low back pain. Subsequently, three motor tests (one-minute sit-up test, Sorensen test and lateral plank test) were applied. Statistical analysis involved the ROC curve, to identify the Area Under the Curve (AUC), assuming a 95% confidence interval. Results: It was observed in males that all the tests had a low AUC (between 0.56 and 0.57), without statistical significance (p > 0.05). For females, AUC ranged from 0.62 to 0.66, with statistical significance (p < 0.05) for the cut-off points identified in the one-minute sit-up test (≤ 24 repetitions) and Sorensen test (≤ 28 seconds), however, without significance (p > 0.05) for the lateral plank test. Conclusion: Motor tests of abdominal and paravertebral muscle resistance were not predictors of low back pain in male adolescents. Despite the low accuracy, the cut-off points identified in the one-minute sit-up test and Sorensen test, can be used with some caution to predict low back pain in female adolescents.
