Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the Correlation of dysmenorrhea and lower back pain among young female student. Study design: A cross sectional study design is used. Methods: After meeting the criteria of 165 female students the data will collected from different public and private universities and colleges in Lahore such as UOL, UMT, KIPS, UCP and the Performa for this purpose will attach here with Convenient sampling will be used by using different questionnaire to gather data from female students to take consent to further proceed this data surely, your privacy will not be consented private. Results: The histogram with normal curve for Age showed that mean and standard deviation found to be 20.76+3.366 while curve was normally distributed. The results regarding back pain showed that there were 46.1% yes and 53.9% no. The results regarding intensity of back pain showed that there were 12.1% no pain, 10.9% 1, 8.5% 2, 7.9% 3, 7.9% 4, 8.5% 5, 9.1% 6, 10.3% 7, 6.7% 8, 10.3% 9, and 7.9% worst pain. The results regarding socio economics showed that there were 32.7% upper 35.2% middle and 32.1% lower. Conclusion: There is positive correlation between dysmenorrhea and lower back pain. Many young females suffer from dysmenorrhea and their symptoms related to back pain. It also affect their working ability. Keywords: Correlation, Dysmenorrhea, Lower Back Pain, Young Females Students.

Abstract Introduction: Flexibility is an essential component of physical aptitude that reduces the incidence of muscle distention and improves movement efficiency and posture. Objective: To analyze posterior chain flexibility and lower back pain (LBP) in farm workers from a city in western Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Methods: Quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted with 185 rural workers, average age of 44.24 (±10.83) years. The Rural Worker Health Questionnaire, containing individual issues related to work; sit and reach box, goniometer, visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry and Roland-Morris questionnaires were used to evaluate posterior chain flexibility, hamstring muscle length, pain and lumbar spine dysfunction, respectively. Flexibility was compared with the degree of dysfunction using one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: 181 (97.8%) workers reported LBP symptoms: 100% of the women and 95.2% of the men. The average Oswestry score was 7.09 (±8.25), Roland-Morris 1.22 (±1.63), and VAS 5.81 (±2.5). Average flexibility by the sit and reach test (SRT) was 23.91cm (±18.81); straight leg raise (SLR), 66° (±11.77) and popliteal angle 123.21° (±12.45). There was a significant difference in the popliteal angle (p = 0.003) and SLR (0.001) when compared with the degree of dysfunction. Women showed significant differences in all tests; however, the post hoc test showed a significant difference only in the SRT (p = 0.013), and women with minimal dysfunction had greater flexibility in relation to those with severe dysfunction. Conclusion: Self-reported LBP was severe and women with higher levels of dysfunction exhibited less posterior chain flexibility.

There is not enough data available on occupational health and safety issues of underground coal miners in Pakistan. This study focuses on spinal disorders in association with personal and occupational factors. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used for a cross-sectional study of 260 workers of 20 mines located in four districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Regression models were created for upper back pain and lower back pain of workers whose mean age is 19.8 years (±SD 1.47). Results identify the coal cutting as the most harmful work with odds ratios (ORs) 13.06 (95% confidence interval (CI) 13.7–21.5) for lower back pain and 11.2 (95% CI 3.5–19.4) for upper back pain in participants. Those with greater years of work experience had higher odds of upper back pain (2.4, 95% CI 1.4–3.5) and lower back pain (3.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.4). Number of repetitions (mean value 25.85/minute with ±SD 9.48) are also significant for spinal disorder with ORs of 4.3 (95% CI 3.2–7.4) for lower back and 1.3 (95% CI 1.0–2.4) for upper back. Many other occupational and personal factors are positively associated with the back pain in underground coal mines workers, requiring immediate ergonomic intervention.
