A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio-demography, lifestyle, occupation and other riskfactors associated with LBP.Results: There were 288 (59.4%) female and 197 (40.6%) male respondents. The point prevalence of LBP was 46.8%. Occupational activities, previous back injury and tobacco smoking were significant associated factors for the total population. For the female respondents, logisticregression analysis showed that a waist circumference of 88 cm or more, dysmenorrhea,previous back injury and being engaged in an occupation were the most significant factors associated with LBP. However, previous back injury was the most significant factor associatedwith LBP for the male respondents.Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP amongst adult patients in our setting is high, with preventable and treatable predisposing factors.
