“…A prevalence of 21.33% of LBP was found in all samples, significantly higher in girls (28.57%) when compared to boys (12.12%). Similar data are found in the literature, where the prevalence of LBP is close to 20% in adolescents and significantly higher in females (3,15,16,25) . When considered as a whole sample, adolescents with LBP presented a significantly higher age, confirming the tendency to increase the prevalence of this condition according to the advancement of age (3,25) .…”

“…Similar data are found in the literature, where the prevalence of LBP is close to 20% in adolescents and significantly higher in females (3,15,16,25) . When considered as a whole sample, adolescents with LBP presented a significantly higher age, confirming the tendency to increase the prevalence of this condition according to the advancement of age (3,25) . However, it is worth noting that when they were stratified by sex, older age was significantly observed in adolescents with LBP only in males, which may have occurred because the sample of the present study was relatively homogeneous in relation to the age group.…”

“…A justification for the lack of significance in the performance of different motor tests related to musculoskeletal fitness among adolescents classified with and without LBP may be linked to a higher level of physical activity among adolescents with this condition. As has been demonstrated in different studies, adolescents with a higher level of physical activity and supposedly with better physical fitness, are more likely to be classified as LBP (25,27,28) . Probably, this factor also limits the hypothesis that motor tests related to musculoskeletal fitness are able to predict a higher risk of LBP among the adolescent population.…”

Background: The prevalence of low back pain in adolescents is close to that found in the adult population. In view of the relationship between low back pain and the resistance of the spine stabilizing muscles, studies have sought to identify the ability of specific motor tests to predict this condition. Objectives: Our objective was to verify the predictive ability of three motor tests related to musculoskeletal fitness to identify adolescents with low back pain. Methods: The sample consisted of 150 adolescents, of both sexes, aged between 15 and 19 years. The Nordic questionnaire validated for Brazilian adolescents was applied to identify those with low back pain. Subsequently, three motor tests (one-minute sit-up test, Sorensen test and lateral plank test) were applied. Statistical analysis involved the ROC curve, to identify the Area Under the Curve (AUC), assuming a 95% confidence interval. Results: It was observed in males that all the tests had a low AUC (between 0.56 and 0.57), without statistical significance (p > 0.05). For females, AUC ranged from 0.62 to 0.66, with statistical significance (p < 0.05) for the cut-off points identified in the one-minute sit-up test (≤ 24 repetitions) and Sorensen test (≤ 28 seconds), however, without significance (p > 0.05) for the lateral plank test. Conclusion: Motor tests of abdominal and paravertebral muscle resistance were not predictors of low back pain in male adolescents. Despite the low accuracy, the cut-off points identified in the one-minute sit-up test and Sorensen test, can be used with some caution to predict low back pain in female adolescents.

“…Se observa una alta prevalencia de adolescentes que padecen dolor en la región cervical. Estudios similares a este trabajo como los de Zhou L (1) , Meziat-Filho N (2) , Fares J (4) , Weber SA (5) , Canté XC (12) , Scarabottolo CC (16) , Shan Z (17) , Shan Z (18) , Briggs (19) refieren la importancia de la variable dolor cervical, que es un padecimiento que puede ocasionar una limitación funcional. Los alumnos de educación secundaria no son ajenos a padecerlo por su corta edad, si no que el cuadro podría estar relacionado a factores (ambientales y de estilo de vida) a los que están expuestos (20) .…”

Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados al dolor cervical en estudiantes de una institución educativa estatal en Lima, Perú. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal, correlacional. Participaron 300 estudiantes de nivel secundario. Se confeccionó un cuestionario de 19 preguntas que fue validado por 11 expertos. Cada ítem fue evaluado (suficiencia, claridad, coherencia y relevancia), se aplicó el estadístico V de Aiken (0,91) y se midió la confiabilidad del instrumento mediante el alfa de Cronbach, con un resultado de 0,826, que indica que el instrumento es altamente confiable para la asociación entre variables categóricas. Se empleó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado para establecer las diferencias significativas (p<0,05). Resultados: Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa en cuanto al factor edad (p= 0,001) y el grado de escolaridad (p=0,001) que presenta una correlación con el dolor cervical. Conclusiones: El dolor en la región cervical es un problema de salud pública que no necesariamente se presenta en la edad adulta, sino también en edades tempranas, lo que se ha demostrado en la presente investigación. Si no es tratado a tiempo, conllevaría a una limitación funcional que afectaría la calidad de vida de la persona que lo padece.

“…However, to preserve the psychometric properties of this tool, cross-cultural adaptation is necessary (7,8) . Nevertheless, different studies with Brazilian adolescents have been carried out with this questionnaire (9)(10)(11) without adequate validation for this population. With this, the objective of the present study was to validate the psychometric properties of the Nordic lumbar pain questionnaire in Brazilian adolescents.…”

Background: Low back pain has been configured as a public health problem capable of compromising functional capacity, even in adolescents, however, there are no validated instruments for Brazilian adolescents. Objective: Validate the psychometric properties of the Nordic questionnaire for the evaluation of low back pain in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: The sample consisted of 150 adolescents (84 female), aged between 15 and 19 years. The Nordic questionnaire for the evaluation of low back pain in adolescents, was translated and culturally adapted into Portuguese (Brazil). A committee of experts followed the entire validation process. The questionnaire was administered in two moments, with a 14-day interval. Statistical analysis involved Kappa index. Results: After the slight modifications in the translation process, the expert committee considered that the Brazilian Portuguese version of the questionnaire presented semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalence. The results showed that, among the 15 items considered in the eight questions of the questionnaire, 66.6% presented substantial agreement (kappa between 0.61-0.80). The other items presented almost perfect agreement (kappa > 0.80). Conclusion: The Nordic questionnaire for the evaluation of low back pain in adolescents, after being translated and culturally adapted into the Portuguese (Brazil) language, showed adequate psychometric properties, with high reproducibility in all items, demonstrating that it can be used safely to evaluate the low back pain in Brazilian adolescents.

Back and neck pain prevalence and their association with physical inactivity domains in adolescents

Abstract: The prevalence of neck and low back pain was higher in older adolescents and physical inactivity in the sporting context and occupational activities could be a risk factor to increase the chances of back pain.
