Prevalence and individual risk factors associated with clinical lumbar instability in @entity579 farmers with XXXX .

@entity1643 @entity579 @entity158 @entity922
INTRODUCTION: @entity922 ( @entity922 ) is one of the subgroups of chronic non-specific @entity1643 . Thai @entity579 farmers often have poor sustained postures during a @entity579 planting process and start their farming at an early age. However, individual associated factors of @entity922 are not known and have rarely been diagnosed in @entity1643 . This study aimed to determine the prevalence and individual associated factors of @entity922 in Thai @entity579 farmers. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 323 Thai @entity579 farmers in a rural area of Khon Kaen province, Thailand. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using the 13-item Delphi criteria questionnaire, after which an objective examination was performed using aberrant movement sign, @entity158 catch sign, and prone instability test to obtain information. Individual factors such as sex, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, smoking, and number of years of farming experience, were recorded during the face-to-face interview. RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity922 in Thai @entity579 farmers calculated by the method described in this study was 13% (age 44  10 years). Number of years of farming experience was found to be significantly correlated with the prevalence of @entity922 (adjusted odds ratio =2.02, 95% confidence interval =1.03-3.98, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study provides prevalence of @entity922 in Thai @entity579 farmers. Those with long-term farming experience of at least 30 years have a greater risk of @entity922 .
