Abstract

Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is a major public health problem and the most common cause of workers’ disability. However, there is very little information about LBP among tailors. This study was aimed at identifying risk factors of LBP among tailors in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. A cross-sectional study design was used on 139 tailors whom randomly selected during February 2017. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using Body Discomfort Map, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, and a questionnaire containing subject characteristics and smoking habit data. Physical risk factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders were investigated using Work Ergonomic Risk Assessment. Body weight, body height and waist circumference of the tailors were also measured. Risk factors of LBP were analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Of the 139 tailors, 92 (66.2%) acknowledged experiencing LBP during the recent week. No association was found between LBP with work duration and years spent working. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that significant risk factors of LBP were smoking (OR=19.280 for heavy smokers and OR=16.796 for moderate smokers), working posture (OR=6.233), waist circumference (OR=3.850) and age (OR=2.393). Body mass index is a protective factor of LBP (OR= 0.205 for normoweight, OR=0.218 for overweight, and OR=0.094 for obese). Preventive measures should be taken to reduce the risk of lower back pain among tailors, such as stop smoking, working with ergonomic posture, achieving normal of body weight and waist circumference.
