Introduction: World Health Organization (WHO) definition of Low Back Pain (LBP) is symptom of various cases involving the spine. Pain in the soft tissues of the lower back area is extremely common among adults and frequently affects individuals in their working years. Although Low Back Pain is suggested to be linked to hormonal and reproductive factors in women, results from various studies are inconclusive. Objective: The main objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with Low Back Pain (LBP) in women. Methodology: This is a retrospective study which was conducted in Sadar Hospital, Brahmanbaria during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. Data were collected by a pre-designed questioner and analyzed by computer program, SPSS Version 20. Incomplete data-sheets were rejected before analysis and finally total study population was fixed to 196 with Low Back Pain. Result: Among the total 196 study subjects, the highest number of patients with Low Back Pain was found in 30 to 40 years’ age group. This number was 59 and it was 30.10% of total study population. In total 113 participants were with overweight (BMI >= 25.00) which was 57.65% of the total participants. In total 67 (34.18%) participants had Disc Prolapse and that was the highest ratio according to dialysis reports. Conclusion: Low Back Pain is one of the leading causes of disability. It occurs in similar proportions in all cultures, interferes with quality of life and work performance and is the most common reason for medical consultations. More studies regarding LBP are necessary to get the clear concepts about this issue.
