About

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.

Full description

Separate multiple logistic regression models were developed to identify the variables associated with LBP, LP and PGP.
