Abstract

Introduction: At least 84% of the world’s population suffer back pain at some time in their lives, 70% due to biomechanical and soft tissue alterations, 14% due to an underlying organic pathology. Among the most associated risk factors is the female sex and breast volume.

Objective: To establish the relationship between back pain and breast dimensions in medical students at a university on the Colombian Atlantic coast.

Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional study, in which the size of the breasts was analyzed as a risk factor triggering back pain. The medical students of a university on the Colombian Atlantic coast were taken as a population during the 2015 period. -I. A survey was applied to quantitative
descriptive aspects and anthropometric measurements.

Results: The total sample was 111 women, average age of 20 years, 82% have normal BMI. The average measures were: The anterior thoracic diameter 50.6 cm, posterior thoracic diameter 44.8 cm, superior-inferior distance 29.6 cm, interaction distance 35.1 cm, and bra size was 34. The prevalence of pain of back was of 62.16% located in the lumbar region in 55.07%, being episodic in 89.85% of the cases and with an average frequency of 1 to 3 times / week (60.87%). In 88.40% of the cases, the participants did not receive medical treatment.

Conclusion: The presence of pain did not have a significant statistical relationship with mammary size.
