随机抽取940名40 - 47岁的男性样本，要求他们参与一项研究腰痛（LBP）的调查。716名男性（76%）接受了个人调查，其余男性的信息来自瑞典国家健康保险办公室。LBP的终生发病率为61%，患病率为31%。40%的LBP参与者患有坐骨神经痛。在研究前三年（1975-1977年），3.6%的参与者因LBP而无法工作，4%的参与者因LBP而下班超过三个月。40%的人咨询过医生，3.5%的人住院，0.8%的人因为LBP接受过手术。患有LBP的男性具有显著的功能障碍，如反映为例如弯曲脊柱、提升和进行日常生活和运动活动的能力下降。根据国家健康保险关于以往疾病的数据，49%的参加者和59%的未参加者曾因腰痛而在某个时候停止工作。在采访期间，在那些声称自己从未患有LBP的参与者中，有27%的人被诊断患有LBP。因此，根据参与者的访谈结果，发病率和患病率被低估了。
A randomised sample of 940, 40 to 47 year old, men were asked to participate in an investigation where low back pain (LBP) was studied. 716 men (76%) were personally investigated and information concerning the remaining men was received from the Swedish National Health Insurance Office. The life time incidence of LBP was 61%, the prevalence 31%. 40% of the participants with LBP had sciatica. The disability prevented work in 3.6% of the participants and 4% had been off work more than three months because of LBP in the three years preceding the study (1975-1977). 40% had consulted a physician, 3.5% had been admitted to a hospital, and 0.8% had been operated on because of their LBP. Men with LBP had significant functional impairment as reflected by e.g. decreased ability to flex their spine, to lift and to perform activities of daily living and sports. According to National Health Insurance data about previous sickness 49% of the participants and 59% of the non-participants had at some time been off work because of LBP. Among the participants who, during the interview, stated that they had never had LBP there were 27% who had been sicklisted with an LBP diagnosis. Thus the incidence and prevalence rates were underestimated when based on interview findings from the participants.
