This study aimed to compare prevalence of lower back pain (LBP) in firefighters according to job type and to identify the risk factors for LBP. A random sample of 297 male firefighters and 77 hospital office workers completed questionnaires and underwent lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. Prevalence of LBP in firefighters (85.1%) was higher than in controls (54.5%). Odds ratio () of LBP in severe insomnia (3.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.17, 12.06]) was statistically higher than for LBP without insomnia. of LBP in herniated lumbar disc 4-5 (1.86, 95% CI [1.03, 3.35]) was statistically higher than for LBP without lumbar disc herniation. s of LBP in emergency medical service (2.57, 95% CI [1.20, 5.58]) and rescue (3.69, 95% CI [1.37, 9.94]) workers were statistically higher than in controls. LBP is more prevalent in firefighters than in controls and affected by insomnia, lumbar disc herniation and job type.
本研究旨在比较不同岗位类型消防员腰痛（LBP）的患病率，并确定 LBP 的危险因素。随机抽取 297 名男性消防员和 77 名医院办公室工作人员完成问卷调查，并进行腰椎磁共振成像检查。消防员（85.1%）的 LBP 患病率高于对照组（54.5%）。严重失眠（3.84，95%置信区间 [CI] [1.17，12.06]）的 LBP 比值比（OR）明显高于无失眠的 LBP。腰椎间盘 4-5 突出（1.86，95%置信区间 [CI] [1.03，3.35]）的 LBP OR 明显高于无腰椎间盘突出的 LBP。紧急医疗服务（2.57，95%置信区间 [CI] [1.20，5.58]）和救援（3.69，95%置信区间 [CI] [1.37，9.94]）工作者的 LBP OR 明显高于对照组。LBP 在消防员中比在对照组中更为普遍，且受失眠、腰椎间盘突出和工作类型影响。
