Low back pain poses a significant problem in clinics and public health. It presents one of the main problems with adults, since 70-80% of adults experience it at least once in their lifetime. Causes of the low back pain are numerous and often unknown.
The aim of the study is to find the most prevalent age group, pain localisation, and the frequency of physical therapy sessions in obese and non-obese subjects with LBP.
The study has been conducted by the Physical Rehabilitation Service of the Occupational Medicine Institute, during one year period. The total number of patients studied was 101 and all were Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEC) employees. The study was retrospective.
Looking at the body weight index, out of 101 patients, 69.3% are classified as non-obese and 30.7% as obese. Using T-Test we have found a difference of high statistical significance between the average number of the physical therapy sessions applied in relation to the examined groups (T-Test=2.78, P=0.0065, so, P<0.01).
Obesity and age have no direct influence in back pain, but they could prolong healing. Professional occupation and binding position are factors that affect back pain. Physical workload can cause the manifestation of sciatica; whereas psycho-social factors can prolong the overall healing process.
下背痛在临床和公共卫生领域是一个重大问题。它是成年人面临的主要问题之一，因为70 - 80%的成年人在其一生中至少经历过一次。下背痛的原因众多且往往不明。
本研究的目的是找出患有下背痛的肥胖和非肥胖受试者中最普遍的年龄组、疼痛部位以及物理治疗疗程的频率。
该研究由职业医学研究所物理康复服务部门在一年时间内进行。研究的患者总数为101名，均为科索沃能源公司（KEC）的员工。该研究为回顾性研究。
查看体重指数，101名患者中，69.3%被归类为非肥胖，30.7%为肥胖。通过T检验，我们发现针对所检查的组，物理治疗疗程的平均次数之间存在高度统计学差异（T检验 = 2.78，P = 0.0065，所以，P < 0.01）。
肥胖和年龄对背痛没有直接影响，但它们可能会延长愈合时间。职业和工作姿势是影响背痛的因素。体力劳动负荷可导致坐骨神经痛的表现；而心理社会因素可延长整体愈合过程。
