“…No Brasil, estudos com escolares já vêm demonstrando ocorrências preocupantes de dor lombar 23,24 , porém eles ainda são escassos. Os demais itens do questionário também foram considerados, tendo em vista que suas análi-ses permitem verificar se a dor lombar não era decorrente do período menstrual, de traumas ou de patologias diagnosticadas.…”

Estudos têm demonstrado que indivíduos que apresentam dor lombar na infância e adolescência são acometidos também na vida adulta, reforçando a importância de que as causas sejam investigadas desde a idade escolar. Avaliou-se a ocorrência de dor lombar e fatores associados em 770 escolares de 7 a 17 anos de idade de uma escola privada de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A dor lombar foi definida como dor ou desconforto na região lombar no último mês e avaliada por meio de questionário. A ocorrência de dor lombar foi de 31,6%, sendo mais prevalente no sexo feminino (41,9%) do que no masculino (21,4%). Os fatores associados à dor lombar foram sexo feminino, idade de 9 a 17 anos e os aspectos psicossociais hiperatividade (categorias limítrofe e anormal) e sintomas emocionais (categoria anormal). O mapeamento da ocorrência de dor lombar, bem como a investigação de seus fatores associados é de fundamental importância para a identificação de crianças e adolescentes em risco e para o desenvolvimento de programas eficazes de prevenção primária.

“…In Brazil, studies focusing on the prevalence of low back pain in school children are not common and some are confined to verifying the presence of risk factors and postural changes. 19 Regarding the prevalence of this symptom, Vitter et al 8 in a study of 1236 schoolchildren aged between 11 and 14 years old in the city of Bauru, São Paulo found that 19.5% of respondents had low back pain. Further, in a study of 833 schoolchildren from the 5th to 8th grades in municipal schools of Rio Grande do Sul, the prevalence of back pain was found to be 54.1% in the three-month period before the survey.…”

Introduction: Low back pain is a symptom with biopsychosocial implications with the potential to reach the whole individual. The school-age coincides with an important period in human development and in which inequalities and compensation resulting from poor posture or structural changes may increase the chance of the emergence of pain. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of low back pain among adolescents. Methods: The sample consisted of 166 adolescents between 11 and 18 years of age (86 girls and 80 boys) enrolled in a private school in a town in the state of Piauí, in the academic year 2012. A structured questionnaire with closed questions on gender and low back pain aspects was used. Results: Almost 80% of the students reported the presence of low back pain in the past year, and nearly half (41.3%) reported pain classified as 3, according to faces pain scale. About two-thirds of the adolescents (63.1%) said they did not fail to perform their daily activities due to pain.There was no statistically significant association between gender and low back pain (p = 0.117) or pain intensity (p = 0.065), although for the latter a variable marginal p-value was found. Conclusion: A high prevalence of low back pain was found in the study group without gender differences regarding pain characteristics.

“…6 Specifically in adolescents, the prevalence of low back pain in different parts of the world varies between 8% and 44%, and factors such as age, level of education, social class, diet, smoking, weakness of the hip flexors, low flexibility of the hip extensors, growth spurt and even psychological factors have a close relationship with the incidence of pain symptoms in adolescents. 3,[7][8] Other factors such as improper posture while using computers, backpack weight and physical activity remain controversial. [9][10] Although according Prista et al 11 LBP can often be associated to postural changes resulting from poor postural habits and repeated exposure to small overloads.…”
