Low-Back Pain in 40− to 47-Year-Old Men: Work History and Work Environment Factors
Abstract
The relationship of low-back pain (LBP) to work history and work environment factors was studied in a randomized sample of 940 men from 40 to 47 years of age. The life-time incidence of LBP was 61%, the prevalence 31%. In a univariate analysis ten of the variables studied were found to be correlated to the occurrence of LBP: less overtime work, diminished work satisfaction, decreased potential to influence the work situation, lesser demand on concentration, monotonous work, physically heavy work, a high degree of lifting, to a lesser degree sitting, and to a greater standing and walking work posture. When a covariance analysis was applied to these variables, only three had a direct association to LBP. They were less overtime work, monotonous work, and a high degree of lifting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
