Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors and the impact of low back pain (LBP) among medical students, noting that stress and prolonged study hours may increase their vulnerability.
- Out of 1800 surveyed students, 68.9% responded, with 72.1% reporting LBP; the third year of medical studies was a significant risk factor, while regular exercise and walking improved conditions.
- LBP was linked to higher analgesic usage and significantly affected students' work performance, sleep quality, and personal life, highlighting the need for interventions to improve student well-being.
