Low back pain (LBP) is a commonly reported musculoskeletal disorder among policemen or active-duty officers. Policemen are exposed to a high risk of developing LBP due to their nature of work and strenuous activities. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of LBP and the association between LBP with sociodemographic and work-related physical factors. A crosssectional study was conducted among 101 policemen in one police center in Kelantan, Malaysia. A set of self-administered questionnaires including the sociodemographic form, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used as the research instrument. The prevalence of LBP among policemen was 18.8%. The associations between LBP with sociodemographic and physical activity factors were not statistically significant (p>0.05).
