目的：为了确定下背痛（LBP）的患病率范围连同任何相关的残疾在Australian adults.Design：A population-based surveillance.Methods：该调查邮寄在2001年6月的分层随机抽样的3000名澳大利亚成年人从选举名册中选择。受访者的人口统计变量与澳大利亚人口进行了比较。选择性反应偏差进行了研究，使用波形分析。一系列的患病率数据的衍生，作为残疾评分使用慢性疼痛Grade.Results：有69%的响应率。样本和澳大利亚成年人口之间的差异很小。样本点患病率估计为25.6%（95%CI，23.6-27.5），12个月患病率为67.6%（95%CI，65.5-69.7），终生患病率为79.2%（95%CI，77.3-81.0）。在过去的6个月里，42.6%（95%CI，40.4-44.8）的成年人经历过低强度疼痛和低残疾，另有10.9%（95%CI，9.6-12.3）的成年人经历过高强度疼痛，但仍然低残疾。然而，10.5%（95%CI，9.2-11.9）经历了高残疾LBP.Conclusion; LBP是一个常见的问题，在澳大利亚成年人口，但大多数这是低强度和低残疾的疼痛。然而，超过10%的人在过去6个月内因腰痛而严重残疾。这项研究的数据将使我们更好地了解澳大利亚腰痛问题的严重程度、获得医疗保健资源的需求以及战略研究方向。
Objectives: To determine the prevalence ranges of low back pain (LBP) together with any related disability in Australian adults.Design: A population-based survey.Methods: The survey was mailed in June 2001 to a stratified random sample of 3000 Australian adults selected from the Electoral Roll. Demographic variables of respondents were compared with the Australian Population. Selective response bias was investigated using wave analysis. A range of prevalence data was derived, as were disability scores using the Chronic Pain Grade.Results: There was a 69% response rate. There was little variation between the sample and the Australian adult population. There was no significant selective response bias found. The sample point prevalence was estimated at 25.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.6-27.5), 12-month prevalence was 67.6% (95% CI, 65.5-69.7), and lifetime prevalence was 79.2%, (95% CI, 77.3-81.0). In the previous 6-month period, 42.6% (95% CI, 40.4-44.8) of the adult population had experienced low-intensity pain and low disability from it. Another 10.9% (95% CI, 9.6-12.3) had experienced high intensity-pain but still low disability from this pain. However, 10.5% (95% CI, 9.2-11.9) had experienced high-disability LBP.Conclusion; LBP is a common problem in the Australian adult Population, yet most of this is low-intensity and low-disability pain. Nevertheless, over 10% had been significantly disabled by LBP in the past 6 months. Data from this Study will provide a better understanding of the magnitude of the LBP problem in Australia, the need for access to health care resources, and also strategic research directions.
