Abstract

Back pain is one of the public health issues that most affects citizens' quality of life and the economy of post-industrial societies. Its appearance in infancy predisposes suffering as an adult. The objective is to quantify the prevalence of back pain in school children. A study in the province of Jaén, with a sample selected by natural groups, formed by 153 students, belonging to the third cycle of primary education (n=30), and of the first (n=59) and second cycles (n=64) of compulsory secondary education. The data were obtained with the questionnaire for the quantification of back pain. The prevalence of back pain in the investigated cycles is 79.70%, with a mean and standard deviation of (2.66 + 1.78), reaching a range of mild pain. We found that back pain correlates with the transport time of school supplies (r=0.293; p<0.001), and we found higher levels of back pain in the first cycle of compulsory secondary education (2.67 + 1.59; p<0.001) and in females (2.96 + 1.71; p<0.05) and when the school bag is used to transport their school materials (2.83 + 1.77; p<0.01). The results favour the design and implementation of multidisciplinary intervention programs to reduce the prevalence of back pain in our schools.
