Abstract
Background: Prolonged sitting may cause faulty posture among students leading to low back pain (LBP). Objectives: 1. To compare the time spent sitting among students with and without LBP. 2. To determine the association between types of sitting posture and LBP. Methods: This cross-sectional online survey recruited 420 students. Findings: A majority (56%) of 343 respondents seated >10 hours daily. There was a significant total time spent between students with and without LBP. However, there was no association between types of sitting posture and LBP. Implications: Awareness of avoiding prolonged sitting should be emphasized among the students to minimize LBP.
