在一项以人群为基础的研究中,对与自报背痛患病率相关的人口统计学因素进行了调查。研究变项为年龄、性别、职业、职业的身体需求、收入、教育程度及婚姻状况。独立变量和报告的背痛的粗略关联与其他横断面研究基本一致。多因素列联表和多变量模型用于进一步分析。当控制其他变量时,只有性别,教育和婚姻状况与报告的背痛密切相关。使用这3个变量加上年龄,开发了回归模型来预测背痛,并确定了患病率的陡峭梯度:患病率最高(44-46%)的是50-64岁的未婚女性,无论受教育程度如何,而患病率最低(9-11%)的是已婚男性,受教育程度高于高中。由于模型只采用普查类型的变量,它们应该很容易验证或用于预测其他人群的背痛患病率。
Demographic factors associated with self-reported back pain prevalence in a population-based study were investigated. Study variables were age, gender, occupation, physical demand of occupation, income, education and marital status. Crude associations of the independent variables and reported back pain were in general agreement with other cross-sectional studies. Multiway contingency tables and multivariate models were empolyed for further analyses. When each of the other variables were controlled, only gender, education and marital status remained strongly associated with reported back pain. Using these 3 variables plus age, regression models were developed for the prediction of back pain and identified a steep gradient of prevalence: the highest prevalence (44-46%) was in no-longer-married women aged 50-64, regardless of education, while the lowest prevalence (9-11%) was in men who were married and had greater than a high school education. Because the models employ only census-type variables, they should be easy to validate or use to predict back pain prevalence in other populations.
