Although many studies have investigated the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among Indian subjects, no meta-analysis has been conducted to determine the comprehensive epidemiological point, annual, lifetime prevalence of LBP among Indian subjects.
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of LBP in the Indian population.
We searched PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies that reported point, annual, or lifetime prevalence of LBP among Indian subjects. Pooled point, annual and lifetime prevalence rates were calculated. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias assessment were performed.
Ninety-seven studies were included in this review. Fifty-four studies included in the review (55.5%) were found to be of higher methodological quality. The pooled point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of LBP in India was 48% (95% CI 40-56%); 51% (95% CI 45-58%), and 66% (95% CI 56-75%), respectively. The pooled prevalence rates were highest among females, the rural population, and among elementary workers.
The point, annual, and lifetime prevalence rates of LBP in the Indian population is higher compared to global and other ethnic populations affecting a large proportion of the population, especially among women, rural population and in elementary workers. The findings of this study can be the basis for formulating policy regarding the prevention and treatment of LBP in a large part of the global population.
尽管许多研究都调查了印度人群中腰痛（LBP）的患病率，但尚未进行荟萃分析以确定印度人群中 LBP 的综合流行率、年度患病率和终身患病率。
本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是调查印度人群中 LBP 的时点、年度和终身患病率。
我们检索了 PubMed、Embase、Science Direct 和 Cochrane Library 数据库，以获取报告印度人群中 LBP 的时点、年度或终身患病率的相关研究。计算了汇总的时点、年度和终身患病率。进行了荟萃分析、亚组分析、敏感性分析和发表偏倚评估。
本综述纳入了 97 项研究。综述中纳入的 54 项研究（55.5%）被认为具有较高的方法学质量。印度 LBP 的时点、年度和终身患病率分别为 48%（95%CI 40-56%）、51%（95%CI 45-58%）和 66%（95%CI 56-75%）。女性、农村人口和体力劳动者的汇总患病率最高。
与全球和其他种族人群相比，印度人群中 LBP 的时点、年度和终身患病率较高，影响了很大一部分人群，尤其是女性、农村人口和体力劳动者。本研究的结果可以为制定针对全球很大一部分人群的 LBP 预防和治疗政策提供依据。
