ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência e intensidade de dor nas costas (DC) e os fatores de risco associados a um nível de elevada intensidade de dor em escolares do Ensino Fundamental de Teutônia, RS. Participaram deste estudo epidemiológico 1.597 escolares de 5ª a 8ª séries. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário autoaplicável e analisados a partir de uma análise multivariável e do cálculo das razões de prevalência (RP) (α=0,05). Verificou‐se que a prevalência de DC nos últimos três meses foi de 55,7% (n=802) e que a elevada intensidade de DC está associada com as variáveis: frequência de dor (RP=1,37; p=0,001), impedimento ao fazer atividades do dia a dia (RP=1,25; p=0,001) e meio de transporte do material escolar (RP=1,10; p=0,026). Estes resultados podem auxiliar os professores de educação física a planejar suas atividades curriculares.AbstractThe aim of this study was verify the prevalence and back pain (BP) intensity, and risk factors associated with an elevated level of pain intensity in schoolchildren of basic education from Teutônia, RS. 1597 students from 5th to 8th grade participated in this epidemiological study.
