Prevalence and biopsychosocial factors associated with a current episode of low back pain amongst adults with previous history of low back pain: a cross-sectional study of market traders in an African population

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability globally, with Nigeria having one of the greatest burdens. A current episode of LBP is important in Nigeria, but the associated factors are unknown. This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence, biomechanical and psychosocial factors associated with a current episode of LBP amongst 700 adult market traders with previous LBP in an urban Nigerian population. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted.
