The aim of the present study was to assess associations between physician diagnosed
unspecified low back pain (LBP) during compulsory military service and self-reported LBP
and physical fitness measured on average four years after military service. From a total of
1155 persons who had been pass medical examination for military service and who had
completed physically demanding military training between 1997 and 2007, 778 men participated
in a refresher military training course and physical tests. In this study, the association
between LBP during military service and LBP in later life in addition to the association
between LBP and physical fitness were examined. A total of 219 out of 778 participants
(28%) had visited a physician due to some musculoskeletal symptom (ICD-10 M-diagnosis)
during their military service. Seventy-four participants (9.5%) had visited a physician due to
unspecified LBP during their service, and 41 (5.3%) had temporarily been absent from duty
due to LBP. At the follow-up examination, 122 (15.7%) had reported LBP during the past
month. LBP during military service was associated with self-reported LBP in the follow-up
(p = 0.004). Of those who had been absent from duty due to LBP during their military service,
13 (31.7%) reported LBP during the past month. In risk factor analysis, no initial health
behaviour and physical performance variables were associated with baseline LBP in the follow-up.
The main finding of the present study was that unspecified LBP during military service
predicts LBP in later life. On the basis of previous literature, it is also known that LBP is
a common symptom and thus, one cannot expect to be symptomless the entire life. Interestingly,
none of the health behaviours nor the physical performance studied in the follow-up
were associated with baseline LBP. It appears that individuals prone to LBP have symptoms
during physically demanding military service and also later in their life.
