Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows high functional disability and barriers to care in adults with low back pain, indicating a need for better support.

Key Points

  • Respondents with low back pain had a 1.70 times higher likelihood of functional disability compared to those without pain.
  • The study found that 56.7% had a higher pain intensity according to the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire.
  • Limited access to healthcare services was cited as a significant barrier for adults experiencing low back pain.
  • The research identified a significant association between BMI and the severity of low back pain, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions.
