To analyze the factors associated with back pain in adults who live in quilombola territories.
A population-based survey was performed on quilombola communities of Vitória da Conquista, state of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. The sample (n = 750) was established via a raffle of residences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to investigate sociodemographics and employment characteristics, lifestyle, and health conditions. The outcome was analyzed as a dichotomous variable (Poisson regression).
The prevalence of back pain was of 39.3%. Age ≥ 30 years and being a smoker were associated with the outcome. The employment status was not related to back pain.
The survey identified a high prevalence of back pain in adults. It is suggested to support the restructuring of the local public service in order to outline programs and access to healthy practices, assistance, diagnosis, and treatment of spine problems.
分析居住在逃亡黑奴聚居地的成年人背痛的相关因素。
对巴西东北部巴伊亚州维多利亚达孔基斯塔的逃亡黑奴社区进行了一项基于人群的调查。通过住宅抽奖确定样本(n = 750)。进行了半结构化访谈,以调查社会人口统计学和就业特征、生活方式以及健康状况。将结果作为二分变量进行分析(泊松回归)。
背痛的患病率为39.3%。年龄≥30岁和吸烟与该结果相关。就业状况与背痛无关。
该调查发现成年人背痛的患病率很高。建议支持当地公共服务的重组,以便制定相关计划并提供脊柱问题的健康实践、援助、诊断和治疗途径。
