Abstract
Objective: To ascertain the determinants of chronic lower back pain among patients presenting in primary care clinics. Methods: 300 participants from 18 to 75 years of age were enrolled from Primary Care Clinics, Primary Health Center, Sikanderabad and Family Medicine Health Center, Clifton, for a Cross-sectional study that was done from December 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Consultant family physicians took informed consent and then asked relevant history questions and performed a relevant physical examination, such as a straight leg raise on the patients. Results: The frequency of chronic lower back pain came out to be 16.7%(50). The median age was 31.99+15.7 years. For those who had chronic back pain, the majority were regularly taking Cholecalciferol supplements ( 20.8% p-value 0.05). The effect of depression increases the chances (0.688) of chronic lower back pain. (p-value 0.006) Conclusion: In our study, we concluded that lower back pain, especially chronic in duration, is very rampant in the community with male predominance. The majority reported a dull type of pain. Depressed people are more vulnerable to developing chronic back pain. Keywords: LBP (lower back pain), magnitude, restricted mobility, S.I. joint (Sacroiliac joint), community..
