![]() ![]() Lastly, the data would increase the global knowledge on neck, thoracic spine and low back pain, which are public health-related problems, by adding information from an understudied area of the world. Data on the associations of neck, thoracic spine and low back pain with systemic and socioeconomic parameters would provide information about risk factors and potential preventive measures. The data would help to obtain information about the prevalence of neck pain, thoracic spine pain and low back pain in Russia with additional insight into interethnic differences. ![]() In view of the multiethnic population in Russia, we additionally aimed to explore differences between an ethnic Russian population and a non-Russian population. Since low back pain, thoracic spine pain and neck pain belong to the most common causes of the global burden of disease worldwide, and since information about their prevalence in Russia as the largest and one of the most populous countries worldwide is missing, we conducted this study to assess the prevalence of low back and neck pain in a population in Russia and to explore their associations with other major risk factors. In addition, information on the prevalence of low back pain, thoracic spine pain and neck pain have been relatively scarce for all other regions worldwide. To date, information about the prevalence of low back pain and neck pain in Russia and factors associated with the occurrence of low back and neck pain in Russia have been largely missing. In previous studies, risk factors for back pain, thoracic spine pain and neck pain were old age, occupational hazards, a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, hereditary patterns, poor posture, pregnancy and smoking. Among the 34 countries in the high-income regions worldwide, low back and neck pain were ranked 2nd in 1990, 20, while ischemic heart disease was the leading cause of DALYs. Low back and neck pain ranked in the list of the most frequent causes of global disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for both sexes low back and neck pain were ranked 13th in 1990, 9th in 2006, and 4th in 2016. Low back pain and neck pain are among the most important causes of disability globally. ![]() These data may be of interest for assessing the burden of back and neck pain in Russia as part of the global burden of disease. In a Russian population, the prevalence of low back pain, thoracic spine pain and neck pain (54.0, 23.6 and 29.1%, respectively) were correlated with parameters such as the female sex, younger age, higher body mass index, higher anxiety score, higher prevalence of a history of cardiovascular disease, lower frequency of vigorous activities and more time spent sitting or reclining. The prevalence of thoracic spine pain and neck pain showed similar associations. As part of a detailed systematic examination, we assessed the prevalence of low back pain, thoracic spine pain and neck pain in an interview with standardized questions in 5397 study participants (mean age:58.6 ± 10.6 years range:40–94 years). The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study was conducted in a rural and urban region in Bashkortostan/Russia. Back pain and neck pain are leading causes of the burden of disease worldwide, while information about their prevalence in Russia is missing. ![]()
