Abstract

 Back Pain (BP) is defined as pain that affects the back of the trunk, a common experience among people all over the word. Life prevalence is reported to be up to 84%, and the prevalence of BP appears to be about the same in adolescents. The risk of having BP later in life, if you have experienced episodes of pain during adolescence, is high. Our work has revealed that BP is already prevalent in individuals at the age of 14 and increases throughout adolescence and early adulthood.  To determine the scores of disability on back pain (BP) using Mody (Oswestry Modified Disability Questionnare) for the attitudes of daily life. In this study, 39 students aged 19-23 years were enrolled, we used the standardized MODY (Oswestry Modified Disability Questionnaire) for the attitudes. We studied gender differences, prevalence, and disability of back pain. We have also studied changes in BP in adolescence depending on hours spent in physical activity. Significantly, more girls than boys have had episodes of back pain in their lives. Those who were physically active 
reported back pain (BP) to a significantly higher extent than those who were physically inactive in their spare time. Gender and leisure time for those who were physically active appear to be important risk factors for BP some time in life. There was a higher risk of girls having back pain more than 30 days or every day last year if they had back pain some time earlier in life. 
This study shows that back pain (BP) is common in adolescents, more common in girls than boys. High physical activity was associated with the risk of having BP, length of time with BP, and disability due to BP.
