Prevalence of Low Back and Pelvic Pain in Pregnant Women
Prevalence of Low Back and Pelvic Pain in Pregnant Women and Factors Associated With a Greater Risk of Having it

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of low back and pelvic pain in Spanish pregnant women. The results should allow for the identification of factors associated with a greater risk of having it during pregnancy. Once risk factors are identified, other studies can assess the effectiveness of measures to reduce this pain.

Validated methods were used to gather data on the prevalence of LBP, LP and PGP, anthropometric and socio-demographic characteristics, history of LBP, obstetrical history, physical activity before and during pregnancy, mattress and sleep characteristics, disability, anxiety, and depression. Separate multiple logistic regression models were developed to identify the variables associated with LBP, LP and PGP.
