['Although low back pain (LBP) is an important issue for the health profession, few studies have examined LBP among occupational therapy students.', 'To investigate the prevalence and distribution of LBP, its adverse sequelae; and to identify potential risk factors.', 'In 2005, a self-reported questionnaire was administered to occupational therapy students in Northern Queensland.', 'The 72-month period-prevalence of LBP was 64.6%. Nearly half (46.9%) had experienced pain for over 2 days, 38.8% suffered LBP that affected their daily lives, and 24.5% had sought medical treatment. The prevalence of LBP ranged from 45.5 to 77.1% (p = 0.004), while the prevalence of LBP symptoms persisting longer than two days was 34.1 to 62.5% (p = 0.020). Logistic regression analysis indicated that year of study and weekly computer usage were statistically-significant LBP risk factors.'] Does prevalence and correlate of low back pain among occupational therapy students in Northern Queensland?
