Developing and validating prediction models for low back pain and neck pain in office workers: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Office workers frequently report low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP) related to sedentary work. While several prognostic risk factors of muscle performances have been identified, accurate predictive models are essential. This study aimed to develop and validate prediction models of LBP and NP among office workers. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 170 office workers aged 20-59 years, all with over one year of experience and daily computer use exceeding six hours. Participants underwent muscles performance tests for LBP and NP, including assessments of trunk muscles stability and endurance, lumbar lordotic curve, a multi-joint strength test and the neck strength and endurance tests. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to develop a predicting models, calcula
