Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with meeting physical activity guidelines and sedentary recommendations in people with chronic low back pain (LBP). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 171 people with chronic LBP. Trained assessors collected information regarding demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data. Physical activity levels and sedentary time were objectively measured using a tri-axial accelerometer. Participants were classified as being physically active (ie, performing at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week) and sedentary (ie, more than 8 hours of time spent in sedentary activities per day). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association of being physically active or sedentary with the range of demographic, anthropometric and clinical variables. Results: Our results showed that although lower body mass index (odds ratio {[}OR] = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.85-0.98) and higher self-reported levels of leisure time physical activity (OR = 3.46; 95% CI: 1.94-6.15) were associated with being physically active, lower self-reported levels of physical activity at work (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.39-0.81) was associated with being sedentary. Conclusion: Our findings showed that, in people with LBP, lower body mass index and higher levels of leisure time physical activity may be important factors for identifying those physically active. In contrast, lower levels of physical activity at work may be considered when identifying sedentary people with LBP. Future studies should consider these factors when designing interventions aiming to promote physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior in this population. (AU)
