| Sumario: | Objective: This study examined the relationship between lifestyle habits, physical disability, and non-specific chronic low back pain. Methods: This cross-sectional, exploratory, and analytical study included a convenience sample of 50 individuals aged ≥ 18 years of both sexes. Participants were assessed on socioeconomic, demographic, and lifestyle factors, as well as the level of physical disability, using the Roland-Morris questionnaire and pain intensity using the visual analog scale. Results: The participants had an average age of 56.9 (SD = 8.87), ranging from 34 to 72 years. Among them, 90% (n = 45) were female. Pain perception was divided between moderate (30%, n = 15) and severe (70%, n = 35). There was a statistically significant association between pain and physical disability (prevalence ratio [PR] 9.86, confidence interval [CI] = 1.46–66.47). Individuals who did not engage in leisure activities also reported a higher subjective feeling of low back pain (PR 0.60, CI = 0.37–0.95) and physical disability (PR 0.39, CI = 0.18–0.88). Additionally, there was a statistically significant association between smoking and LBP (PR 1.60, CI = 1.25–1.99), as well as between physical disability and low back pain (PR 1.88, CI = 1.13–3.11). No significant associations were found between physical exercise, alcohol consumption, and diet with levels of pain and physical disability. Conclusion: A strong relationship was found between pain and physical disability, as well as smoking habits and interference with leisure activities. |
