For this purpose, 457 secondary school’s teachers aged 26-60 years were contacted from various schools of Cuttack city, of those 191 teachers (76 male and 115 female) were confirmed for low back pain by self- informative questionnaire. Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Pain Questionnaire and a self-constructed questionnaire were applied to measure the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the participants. The results revealed that the overall prevalence of LBP in the last 12 months among secondary school teachers was 41.79%, of those female teachers (60.20%) were affected more than their male counterparts. Some factors, such as excessive work load, sleeping disturbance (especially in female teachers), prolonged standing in classroom, physical inactivity affected adversely towards their health and wellbeing causing LBP in them.

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most frequent occupational health problems and accounts for a large number of losses in working days and disability for workers in modern industrialized countries. The aim of this paper was to investigate the prevalence of lower back problem and to associate risk factors among high school teachers. A cross-sectional study was conducted among high school teachers using self-administered questionnaires, which were distributed to randomly selected school teachers of 7 boys’ and 10 girls’ high schools across the city of Kerman and collected between October and November 2010. A total of 296 teachers returned completed questionnaires, yielding a response rate of 78.9%. The 12-month prevalence of LBP was 68.8%, which reporting with moderate disability. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that females [odds ratio (OR): 1.85, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.51–2.00] were positively correlated to LBP. Awkward arm posture (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.24–2.62) and awkward body posture (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 0.87–1.49) were significantly associated with LBP. Psychosocial job demands and job dissatisfaction were also significantly associated with LBP. Smoking cigarette was three times more likely to develop lower back pain when compared with non-smokers. The prevalence of LBP was high among high school teachers. A wide variety of LBP risk factors were identified in the current study. The present study indicates that the high prevalence of lower back pain may lose difficulty to teachers in getting to work and “performing” the work required of them, resulting in work absenteeism, which may decrease work productivity.
