“…It is surprising that the multivariate analyses did not identify a significant association between smoking and disability following any of the back disorders or carpal tunnel syndrome, given the substantial literature associating smoking with the incidence (though not necessarily the development of disability) of these conditions [Frymoyer et al, 1980;Svensson et al, 1983;Kelsey et al, 1984;Owen and Damron, 1984;Biering-Sørensen and Thomsen, 1986;Saraste and Hultman, 1987;Battié et al, 1989;Deyo and Bass, 1989;Vessey et al, 1990;Heliövarra et al, 1991;Tsai et al, 1992;Boshuizen et al, 1993;O'Connor and Marlowe, 1993;Reynolds et al, 1994;Finkelstein, 1995;Nathan et al, 1996;Tanaka et al, 1997]. Perhaps there are many more causal pathways and mediating factors for back disorders that dilute the effect of smoking.…”

“…Onl y eig ht stud ies took age and other co nfo unders, including physical load, into consi dera tion ( 19, 23--26, 28, 32, 35). Information on the strength of the association was present ed in about half of the crosssectional studies (16,19,21,26,28,29,32,33). It can be co ncl uded, the refore, that the most informative cross-sectional studi es are the mult ivariate studies in vest igating the relation sh ip bet ween wo rk-related psychosocial variables and back trouble (other than " Have you e ver had back pain ?"…”

BONGERS PM, de WINTER CR, KOMPIER MAJ, HILDEBRANDT VH. Psychosocial factors at work and musculoskeletal disease. Scand J Work Environ Health 1993; 19:297-312. The objective of this review is to establish whether the epidemiologic literature presents evidence of an association between psychosocial work factors and musculoskeletal disease. In a hypothetical model it is suggested that individual characteristics and stress symptoms can modify this relationship. The reviewed studies do not present conclusive evidence due to high correlations between psychosocial factors and physical load and to difficulties in measuring dependent and independent variables. Nevertheless, it is concluded that monotonous work, high perceived work load, and time pressure are related to musculoskeletal symptoms. The data also suggest that low control on the job and lack of social support by colleagues are positively associated with musculoskeletal disease. Perceived stress may be an intermediary in this process. In addition, stress symptoms are often associated with musculoskeletal disease, and some studies indicate that stress symptoms contribute to the development of this disease.

“…The lack of movement during this position reduces the disc fluid and diminishes blood supplement to the muscles. Evidences suggest that the extended lumbar flexion reduces the ability of the spine to resist to the forces the psychosocial risk factors for the outcome as low socioeconomic status that would imply in more physical demands of work and stress (28).…”

Introduction: Back pain has become a serious public health problem. Objective: To determine the prevalence of back pain in a population-based sample of subjects over 20 years old living in the city of Bauru (São Paulo, Brazil) and to analyze the associations to variables-sociodemographic, ergonomic and lifestylerelated -and to morbidity. Methods: a cross-sectional study which evaluated 600 adults over 20 years old, both gender and living in the city. We used a structured protocol and the Nordic questionnaire. Also, we developed a descriptive analysis, bivariate and multivariate by binary logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of back pain was of 50.3% (CI 46.3 to 54.3), since 42.3% (CI 36.9 to 48.0) in men and 57.6% (CI 51.9 to 63.0) in women, with statistical significant difference (p = 0.001). Different variables remained in final models when assessed by gender. For male to be widowed and divorced and smoking habits and, for women to be widowed and divorced, to work in seated position and to perform occupational activities that demand carrying and lifting weight. Conclusion: We verified high prevalence in back pain in the population
