Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to understand and evaluate whether long sitting durations and sitting position are risk factors for lumbar pain among office workers and to contribute to the existing literature on this subject. Methods: A questionnaire comprising 18 items and 3 main sections about personal information, professional information, sitting position and duration, and lumbar pain was developed for office workers with lumbar pain. The questionnaire was distributed among 131 office workers aged between 18 and 65 years (mean age: 35±9.3 years; mean Body Mass Index (BMI): 25±3.83 kg/m 2) who had complaints of lumbar pain. Results: Among the office workers with long sitting durations, the percentages of standing and walking were lower and the severity of pain was higher. There was a correlation between the duration of pain and percentages of sitting, standing, and walking and between the severity of pain and percentage of sitting. Discussion and Conclusion: A history of lumbar pain, high BMI, and long sitting duration at work may be the risks factors for lumbar pain among office workers.
