Over the past decade, studies have identified a combination of demographic, physical/medical, ergonomic, and psychosocial factors in the development of @entity717 related to @entity1643 . Using such data on disability risk factors, investigators have begun to develop risk identification and disability prevention programs. As part of an ongoing effort to develop a secondary prevention program, the present case-control study identified the relative contribution of demographic, physical demand, physical fitness, as well as occupational and individual psychosocial variables to back-related @entity717 in the US Army. Soldiers (n = 174) diagnosed with a @entity6475 and medically discharged from the Army were compared with non-disabled controls (n = 173). Dependent measures were obtained from the US Army @entity283 ( @entity283 ). For cases, these data pre-dated disability determination by 1 to 3 years. For controls, the @entity283 was completed during the same time period. Significant predictors of @entity1643 were: age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.13 per year), lower rank (E2/E3) (OR = 4.08/OR = 3.02), infrequent aerobic exercise (OR = 2.2), higher work stress (OR = 2.71), worries (OR = 2.17), and lower social support (OR = 5.07). The model correctly classified 73.13% of all subjects. These results highlight the importance of considering age, status level in the organization, frequency of aerobic exercise, occupational stress, general worries, and social support for the early detection of soldiers at increased risk for back-related disability. Additionally, the findings support past research indicating the multivariate nature of @entity717 and emphasize the importance of considering such factors in future secondary prevention efforts.
