Work Related Low Back Pain in Sedentary Railway Officials of the Age Group 30 to 60 Years at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai- A Survey Study

A significant prevalence of work-related low back pain (LBP) was identified among sedentary railway officials aged 30 to 60 years at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Mumbai. The study found that 61% of the 100 participants reported LBP, with a notable gender disparity—44 males and 17 females—highlighting higher incidence in male officials. Prolonged sitting and desk work were primary contributors to discomfort. The research employed a cross-sectional survey using the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire to assess disability levels associated with LBP. While the study provides insights into ergonomic challenges faced by railway officials, its limitations include a gender imbalance, focus on a single station, and lack of detailed work load or doctor consultation data.
