ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the risk factors, demographic and laboral characteristics of the population that is treated for low back pain in the Rehabilitation Center of the Military Central Hospital. Material and methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study. Study variables: gender, age, weight, potential origin of the low back pain. The statistical analysis included: measures of central tendency, dispersion and standard deviation. Results: 1,952 clinical records were evaluated; 938 fulfilled the admission criteria, 578 belonged to female patients and 360 to male ones. The most common etiologies were mechanopostural, post-surgical and post-traumatic; the number of military personnel in the active service was 276, with a greater preference for the Health Service (20.9%), Infantry (14.5%), and Air Force (11.4%). Conclusion: The female sex is more affected by low back pain. The greater number of medical assessments were done to non-military population. The mechanopostural, post-surgical and post-traumatic etiologies showed a greater frequency, mainly affecting the following services: Health Service, Infantry, and Air Force. We recommend to emphasize the factors mentioned in order to influence the treatment of low back pain.
