Background: Now a day low back pain (LBP) is a common phenomenon in adult women. 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 objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the associated factors of low back pain in women. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from January 2019 to December 2019. Data were collected by a pre-designed questioner and analyzed by computer program, SPSS version 20. Total 138 patients with low back pain were selected as study population. Results: Among the total 138 study people, the highest number of patients with low back pain was found in 30 to 40 years’ age group. This number was 41 and it was 30% of the total study population. In total 79 patients were with overweight (BMI>=25.0) which was 57.25% of the total population. 57(41.30%) patients had Disc Prolapse and that was the highest ratio according to diagnosis reports. Conclusion: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading causes of disability women. 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.
