Abstract
Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) is a prevalent condition among middle‐aged adults, significantly affecting their quality of life. Identifying the impact of lifestyle factors on CLBP can inform preventative and therapeutic strategies. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lifestyle factors and the prevalence and severity of CLBP in middle‐aged adults. A cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 140 middle‐aged adults. Data on lifestyle factors, including physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and stress levels, were collected through self‐administered questionnaires and interviews. The severity of CLBP was assessed using a standardized pain scale. The study found significant associations between certain lifestyle factors and the severity of CLBP. Higher physical activity levels and a balanced diet were associated with lower pain severity, while smoking and high stress levels were linked to increased pain severity. Lifestyle factors play a crucial role in the management and prevention of CLBP in middle‐aged adults. Interventions aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles could reduce the burden of CLBP in this population.
