“…Chronic low back pain (LBP) has been identified as the main complaint among Brazilian people with musculoskeletal disorders 1 , with prevalence rates ranging from 37.8% to 61.4% in adults, and up to 56% in the elderly population 2 . Low physical activity levels and sedentary lifestyle are among possible contributing causes for its occurrence 3 .…”

-Aims: Physical activity levels could be related to chronic low back pain (LBP) in those who suffer from it; thus the purpose of this study was yo describe the physical activity levels in patients with chronic LBP, and to investigate whether physical activity levels are associated with LBP related disability and pain intensity in them. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 36 patients with chronic LBP, both sexes, aged between 18 and 70 years. The main outcomes evaluated in this study were physical activity levels, LBP-related disability and pain intensity. Results: Participants were predominantly classified as active (53%) and irregularly active (42%). Mean pain intensity was 4.81 (± 2.72) points, while mean LBP-related disability was 13.19 (± 6.95). Physical activity and disability were negative and moderately correlated. Conclusion: Physical activity and disability were inversely associated, indicating that patients with chronic LBP that have lower physical activity levels had higher levels of disability with chronic LBP lower physical activity levels are associated with higher levels of disability.

“…There is a growing prevalence of LBP in Brazil [16], resulting in an increase of 79% in the total number of years lived with disability between 1990 and 2016 [17]. Previous findings showed a LBP prevalence ranging from 10% to 50% in different populations, such as adolescents, adults, and elderly [18][19][20][21][22]. Thus, a large share of the economic active population might be experiencing disability and functional limitations as a consequence of LBP, which leads to negative socioeconomic impacts [23,24].…”

Background Low Back Pain (LBP) is associated with an increase in disability-adjusted life years, and increased risk of disability retirement and greater absenteeism in Brazil. Hence, evidence on healthcare and lost productivity costs due to LBP is of utmost importance to inform decision-makers. Methods Cost-of-illness study with top-down approach, and societal perspective. We extracted data from National databases, considering the period 2012-2016. Outpatient expenses included clinical, surgical, diagnosis, orthosis/prosthetics, and complementary actions. Inpatient care expenses included hospital and professional services, intensive care unit, and companion stay. For productivity losses, duration of work absence and associated information (workrelated and non-work-related; value of the sickness absence benefit; age; gender; and economic activity) were analyzed. Lost productivity costs were calculated multiplying the absence from work (days) by the daily-benefit. Results The societal costs amounted to US$ 2.2 billion, and productivity losses represented 79% of the costs. Total healthcare expenses were estimated to US$ 460 million. We found more than 880,000 diagnostic images. Individuals with LBP were in total 59 million days absent from work between 2012-2016. The mean lost days absent from work per person, for each

“…Low back pain in older adults presents a less favorable prognosis [5,6] and can progress to incapacities, falls, comorbidities and loss of autonomy, with high care costs for the public and private healthcare systems. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of LBP at some time in life in older Brazilian adults was 25.0% (95%CI = 18.0-32.0) [7].…”

Background: The World Health Organization reports that one of the main incapacitating conditions in older adults is osteomusculoskeletal disorders, and among these is low back pain. There are few instruments translated and transculturally adapted with psychometric properties evaluated for older adults with this health condition in Brazil. The Pain Response to Activity and Positioning (PRAP) questionnaire enables classification of older adults through functional performance. The objective of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and verify the reliability of the PRAP for older Brazilian people with chronic low back pain. Methods: A cross-sectional methodological study from the international study "Back Complaints in the Elders". We included individuals aged ≥60 years, with chronic lumbar pain complaints lasting ≥3 months. The transcultural translation and adaptation process followed the criteria proposed by Beaton and Guilhemeim, 1993. Reliability was tested using an unweighted Cohen's Kappa.Results: Thirty-six (36) older adults participated in the study (71.15 ± 7.23 years, 94.4% female). The intra-rater reliability for Low Back Pain (LBP) was between 0.50-1.00 and 0.23-0.84 for lower limbs, while the inter-rater reliability for LBP was between 0.25-0.63 and between 0.18-0.53 for lower limbs. The criteria for low back pain diagnosis showed intra and inter-rater agreement of 0.52 and 0.47, respectively. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the instrument showed adequate reliability and ability to classify older adults in the diagnosis of LBP by reporting the performance of daily activities, and is indicated for use in the context of research and clinical practice. Trial registration: There is no trial registration. This is a methodological study.
