Absenteeism due to low back pain increases the financial burden on society. Therefore, the assessment of LBP-related absenteeism and its associated factors can be helpful. In this cross-sectional study, 771 workers with history of low back pain during last year have been evaluated. Information was collected from examinations carried out by physicians. About 29.2% of the participants had a history of absenteeism, and regression analysis showed that number of children, medication use, and doing MRI were associated with absenteeism. A high frequency of absenteeism was observed (about 30% of workers had LBP), which could be due to the lack of proper management or correct treatment. The other interesting results were the lack of use of medications and primary treatments for the improvement, along with the need to perform an MRI. In terms of the variable of the number of children, higher daily costs and the need for more income can be attributed to their lower absenteeism.

汽车厂旷工与腰痛之间的关联

下腰痛引起的旷工增加了社会的经济负担。因此，评估与LBP相关的旷工及其相关因素可能会有所帮助。在这项横断面研究中，对去年有腰痛史的771名工人进行了评估。信息是从医生进行的检查中收集的。约有29​​.2％的参与者有旷工史，回归分析表明，儿童人数，药物使用和MRI检查均与旷工有关。缺勤率很高（约30％的工人患有LBP），这可能是由于缺乏适当的管理或正确的治疗。其他有趣的结果是缺乏药物和主要治疗手段的改善，以及需要进行MRI检查。
