Abstract: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most frequent musculosceletal issue found in daily work. Extenuating physical positions comprise 80-85% of the caues of  LBP. In the medical world, a lot of causes of LBP do not identify the pathoanatomical disorders. These factors are e.g.: body in static position while working and the working body position leaning heavily on the vertebra (for example: sitting in a hunched position, sitting upright without back support, or working for unsually long periods of time). Until now in Manado no study has been carried out to show the correlation between LBP and the sitting position, or the duration of work. This study aimed to find out the correlation between chronic LBP and the sitting position or the duration of work among bank employees in one of the goverment banks in Manado. The results showed that there were 69 respondents involved in this study. Chronic LBP was found in 62 respondents (90%). Up stright position while sitting was the most frequent position that caused chronic LBP in 28 respondents. The average time used for working with sitting position was 7-8 hours which caused chronic LBP among 31 respondents of the group with the work time from 11.00-13.59. A P-value of 0.000 (<0.05) showed that there was a strong correlation between sitting position and chronic LBP. Duration of work also showed a strong correlation with chronic LBP with a P-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There were strong correlations beween chronic low back pain with sitting position while working and duration of work. Keywords: chronic LBP chronic, sitting position, duration of work, bank employees.   Abstrak:Nyeri Punggung Bawah (NPB) merupakan gangguan muskuloskeletal yang paling sering dijumpai dalam aktivitas kerja. Faktor mekanik mencakup 80-85% dari keseluruhan penyebaNPB. Patoanatomi sering tidak dapat memberikan ketepatan diagnosis NPB oleh proses mekanik. Faktor mekanik yang mempercepat terjadinya gangguan NPB antara lain posisi badan yang cenderung statis, posisi badan yang cenderung memperberat kerja tulang-tulang vertebra seperti posisi badan membungkuk, tegak tanpa sandaran, dan waktu bekerja yang lama saat duduk. Hubungan NPB dengan posisi dan lama duduk belum pernah dilaporkan di Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi dan lama duduk saat bekerja yang dapat menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada karyawan bank. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari keseluruhan responden yang berjumlah 69 orang, didapatkan 62 responden (90%) yang mengalami NPB mekanik kronik. Posisi duduk tegak tanpa sandaran merupakan posisi terbanyak menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada 28 responden. Rata-rata lama duduk bekerja 7-8 jam menyebabkan NPB pada kelompok pukul 11.00-13.59 sebanyak 31 responden. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji chi-square memperlihatkan adanya korelasi yang kuat (P = 0,000) antara posisi duduk dan NBP mekanik kronik Lama duduk juga berkorelasi kuat dengan NBP mekanik kronik (P = 0,000). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara NBP mekanik kronik dengan posisi dan lama duduk pada karyawan bank. Kata kunci: NPB mekanik kronik, posisi duduk, lama duduk, karyawan bank.

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most common causes of disabilities in old people often due to lumber degeneration (osteoarthritis) and spinal canal stenosis. In our study, we determine the prevalence and associated changes of low back pain that increase with age. Methodology: This observational cohort study was carried out from March 2019 to March 2021 at the El-Moussenin Center in Port Said. The study included 300 patients aged ≥65 years with a chronic nonspecific low back pain for at least six months, a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of 3 and more, and an absence of spinal pathology such as infection, tumor, fracture, spondylolisthesis, or spinal degeneration of grade 2 and above. Patients were divided into two groups: (i) a study group including patients with a mean age of 75 years with nonspecific chronic LBP (n = 150) and (ii) an age- and sex-matched control group (n = 150) with no chronic low back pain using propensity score-matched analysis. All patients underwent whole spinal X-ray, lumbar MRI, CBC, and DXA. Result: We analyzed laboratory finding, radiological finding for global spinal parameter, and lumber degeneration body composition analysis using whole body dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. We found increase in red blood cell distribution width (it is an index of aging), it was higher in geriatric with CLBP (32) and in control (6.9) with a p-value < 0.001. Skeletal muscle mass index was 6.23 ± 0.92 in the studied group and 6.43 ± 1.02 in the control group with a p-value = 0.045. Increase in fat mass was noted in both the studied (32.17 ± 7.07) and the control (29.28 ± 7.48) groups with a p-value < 0.001. Moreover, those patients had lower lumbar lordosis, higher sagittal vertical axis regarding decrease in muscle mass in trunk and extremities. Conclusion: Red blood cell distribution width which is a sign of aging was high in geriatric group with CLBP. Moreover, geriatric CLBP is often associated with osteoporosis which affects the pain threshold and triggers CLBP due to age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and spinal sagittal malalignment.
