This study aims to determine whether prolonged sitting duration influences the incidence of hernia nucleus pulposus among the factory workers. The method of this study is analytical-cross sectional and used non-random consecutive sampling. The study was in Tangerang city, on March 2019. There were 75 factory workers, each subject underwent the Laseque and Bragard test to assess for suspicion of hernia nucleus pulposus. 48 respondents were categorized as those who sit in prolonged duration and 27 respondents were categorized as those who sit in normal duration. Nine people were suspected of having the hernia nucleus pulposus, seven of which admitted having prolonged sitting duration, while the remaining two sit in a normal period (p= 0.48) by Fischer test. The prevalence ratio was 2.11 (confidence interval 95%). Prolonged sitting duration has no correlation with suspected HNP, but has 2.11 times higher risk to LBP.
