“…Nevin and Means () determined greater risk for pain frequency in anatomical areas including the lower back (RR, 1.80; 95% CI [1.14, 2.84]; p = .011) and legs (RR, 2.60; 95% CI [1.17, 5.77]; p = .014) among Army helicopter aviators deployed to Afghanistan with increased flight hour. Relative to administrative or other occupations, Marines within 1 year of combat deployment showed higher odds for developing LBP in noninfantry occupations such as the service/supply (OR, 1.33; 95% CI [1.12, 1.59]) and electrical/mechanical/craftsworker (OR, 1.31; 95% CI [1.12, 1.53]; MacGregor, Dougherty, Mayo, Rauh, & Galarneau, ) occupations. Although people in infantry occupations typically walk longer distances carrying heavy loads in combat, new onset LBP was more commonly observed with noninfantry occupations (MacGregor et al., ).…”
