Abstract(s)
O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de estimar a prevalência
de dor lombar crónica e as suas características sociodemográficas na
população portuguesa, com idade igual ou superior a 25 anos, utilizando
dados do Inquérito Nacional de Saúde 2014. A prevalência de dor
lombar crónica foi de 36,6%, tendo aumentado com a idade, foi maior
nas mulheres, nos participantes que completaram apenas a educação
pré-escolar, que apresentavam rendimentos mais baixos e que residiam
nas regiões Centro e Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Praticar atividade física pelo
menos um dia por semana e apresentar uma menor categoria de Índice
de Massa Corporal (IMC) estiveram associados a uma menor prevalência
de dor lombar. Esses resultados são consistentes com a informação
da literatura e apoiam a adoção de políticas orientadas para capacitação
individual, literacia e promoção da saúde, estilos de vida saudáveis
e que visem contribuir para a redução das desigualdades em saúde.
The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of chronic low back pain and its sociodemographic characteristics in the Portuguese population aged 25 years or more using data from the National Health Sur vey 2014. The prevalence of chronic low back pain was 36,6%, which increased with age, was higher in women, those who completed only pre-school education, with lower incomes and residing in the Centre region and the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region. The practice of physical activity at least one day a week and a lower BMI category were associated with a lower prevalence of low back pain. These results are consistent with the literature and support the adoption of policies aimed at individual empowerment, literacy and health promotion, healthy lifestyles and contribute to the reduction of health inequalities.
