准确的美国下背痛（LBP）及其相关医疗保健的患病率数据将有助于卫生保健规划者，政策制定者和调查人员。对第二次全国健康和营养调查（NHANES II）的数据进行了分析，以提供此类信息。LBP持续至少2周的累积终生患病率为13.8%。在单变量分析中，发现患病率的重要变化与年龄、种族、地区和教育状况有关。大多数LBP患者寻求全科医生的护理，骨科医生和脊医是下一个最常见的护理来源。护理的来源，在某些情况下治疗，不同的人口亚组。这些数据表明，大量的非生物学影响的患病率和治疗LBP，并建议卫生服务研究人员的议程。
Accurate United States data on the prevalence of low-back pain (LBP) and its related medical care would assist health care planners, policy makers, and investigators. Data from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) were analyzed to provide such information. The cumulative lifetime prevalence of LBP lasting at least 2 weeks was 13.8%. In univariate analyses, important variations in prevalence were found by age, race, region, and educational status. Most persons with LBP sought care from general practitioners, with orthopaedists and chiropractors being the next most common sources of care. Sources of care, and in some cases therapy, varied among demographic subgroups. These data demonstrate substantial nonbiologic influences on the prevalence and treatment of LBP, and suggest an agenda for health services researchers.
