Prevalence of low back pain and its associated factors among weavers in low- and middle- income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Low back pain, one of the musculoskeletal disorders is among the major global public health problems and contributors to disability and workers' absence in occupational areas which certainly disrupts work productivity and the expected results. Though various studies investigated low back pain, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive enough, and there is no representative data in low- and middle-income countries on this public health concern. This in turn hinders the efforts of various intervention activities. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the pooled prevalence of low back pain and its associated factors among weavers of low- and middle-income countries.
