What is Development of and recovery from short‐ and long‐term low back pain in occupational settings: A prospective cohort study about?

## Abstract Using the data of the EuroBack Unit prospective cohort study, this paper investigated the role of work‐related physical factors and psychological variables in predicting the development of and recovery from short‐term and long‐term LBP. At baseline, 1294 predominantly male industrial workers from 10 companies in Belgium and the Netherlands filled in questionnaires. At follow‐up, data from 812 employees were available. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses. For those workers reporting 0 days LBP in the year prior to baseline, negative affectivity (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01–1.11) was a risk factor for the __development of short‐term LBP__ (=1–30 days total of LBP in the year prior to follow‐up). For those who reported 1–30 days total of LBP in the year prior to baseline, only high fear of (re)injury due to movement (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02–1.12) increased the risk for failure to __recovery from short‐term LBP__. For the __development of long‐term LBP__ (=more than 30 days total of LBP in the year prior to follow‐up), a significant increased risk was observed among workers with high pain severity (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–1.40) and wi
