[ID 37442] PROBLEMA CRÔNICO DE COLUNA E FATORES ASSOCIADOS: UM ESTUDO BASEADO NA PESQUISA NACIONAL DE SAÚDE 2013

Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to identify the possible risk factors for Chronic Spinal Problems (CSP), as well as factors that may behave as protectors for the development of this problem, in adults aged 18 years and over. Material and methods: The database that was used was from the National Health Survey of 2013, made available by IBGE in partnership with the Health Ministry. Results: Approximately 27,000 individuals were included in this study, of which approximately 16% reported having CSP. Of these, 46% did not undergo any treatment and 62% reported that these problems generated some type of limitation. The results were relevant because of the confirmation of important evidence in the literature, that is, risk and protective factors were identified in the development of CSP, such as the fact that women are more likely to develop CSP. When the physical exercise was analyzed, it was shown to be a protective factor, decreasing in 9% the chance of developing a problem in the spine. Conclusion: In general, the Logit of this investigation classified 84.45% of the observations, however, it is certain that there are many factors involved in the development of CSPs and the knowledge of these is extremely important since preventive measures can be applied. DESCRIPTORS: Back pain. Risk factors. Logit Models.
