ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the relationship between occupational risk factors and the degree of disability in patients with chronic low back pain (clbp) managed at a primary care unit. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using non-probability convenience sampling, 161 patients (95% confidence interval). Patients aged 30 to 60 years with a diagnosis of chronic low back pain were included. Variables evaluated included occupational risk factors (type of employment, work shift, physical workload, and posture), sociodemographic variables, body mass index (bmi), and degree of disability. Results: There was a predominance of females (56.5%) and the 50–60 age group (44.1%). Most participants were overweight (54.0%) and held office positions (28.6%). According to the Oswestry Disability Index, 66.5% of the patients exhibited moderate disability (21–40%). A statistically significant association (p<0.05) was identified between bmi and disability. Conclusion: In patients with chronic low back pain treated in a primary care setting, body mass index was significantly associated with a higher degree of disability, whereas the occupational factors evaluated showed no statistical association. These findings highlight the clinical relevance of body weight regarding the degree of disability observed in patients with chronic low back pain.
