Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2023, Vol 34, Issue 5
Abstract
Low back pain is a widely observed and complex illness that substantially influences the quality of life for women between the ages of 40 and 60, both before and after menopause. It is vital to comprehend the primary risk factors linked to low back pain among this particular demographic in order to avoid and manage this condition effectively. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the primary risk variables associated with the occurrence of low back pain in women between the ages of 40 and 60, both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal. The research employed various methodologies. The study involved a group of 50 women who were carefully chosen based on precise inclusion criteria using purposive sampling. Exclusions were made for those who had disabilities, were pregnant, exhibited cognitive impairments, had neurological problems, experienced recent trauma within the preceding 6 months, or presented with orthopaedic concerns. The data-gathering process encompassed the administration of a comprehensive questionnaire encompassing various domains, including demographic information, BMI calculations, work-related factors, health-related factors, and psychological aspects. All participants provided informed consent. The findings of the investigation unveiled multiple risk variables that are linked to the occurrence of low back pain within this particular demographic. The variables considered in the study encompassed body mass index (BMI) classification, daily work length, general health status, pre-existing health conditions, referred pain, prior instances of low back pain, and psychological concerns such as stress, anxiety, and depression. In conclusion, this research study offers significant insights into the key risk factors associated with the occurrence of low back pain in women between the ages of 40 and 60, both before and after menopause. The results of this study can provide valuable insights for developing preventative strategies and interventions that target the reduction of both the occurrence and consequences of this debilitating ailment within the specified group, ultimately improving their overall well-being.
