TLDR
The evidence suggests that occupational bending or twisting in general is unlikely to be independently causative of LBP, and specific subcategories could contribute to LBP.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Non-specific low back pain
TL;DR: Two treatment strategies are currently used, a stepped approach beginning with more simple care that is progressed if the patient does not respond, and the use of simple risk prediction methods to individualise the amount and type of care provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-specific low back pain
TL;DR: The lifetime prevalence of low back pain is reported to be as high as 84%, and the prevalence of chronic low back disease is about 23%, with 11-12% of the population being disabled by low back problems as mentioned in this paper.

Causal assessment of occupational sitting and low back pain: results of a systematic review.
Darren M. Roffey,Eugene K. Wai,Eugene K. Wai,Paul B. Bishop,Brian K. Kwon,Simon Dagenais,Simon Dagenais +6 more
TL;DR: It is unlikely that occupational lifting is independently causative of LBP in the populations of workers studied, and several high-quality studies examining a relationship between occupational lifting and LBP did not consistently support any of the Bradford-Hill criteria for causality.

TL;DR: Past research concerning the etiology, impact, and assessment of FABs are summarized; the results and relevance to clinical practice of trials that have addressed FAB as part of low back pain treatment are reviewed; and areas in need of further study are listed.

Causal assessment of awkward occupational postures and low back pain: results of a systematic review
Darren M. Roffey,Eugene K. Wai,Eugene K. Wai,Paul B. Bishop,Brian K. Kwon,Simon Dagenais,Simon Dagenais +6 more
TL;DR: There was strong evidence for consistency of no association between awkward occupational postures and LBP, with only two studies demonstrating significant associations in most of their risk estimates compared with six studies reported mainly nonsignificant associations.

Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the Mathematical Basis for Multiple Regression/Correlation and Identification of the Inverse Matrix Elements is presented. But it does not address the problem of missing data.
The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for Assessing the Quality of Nonrandomised Studies in Meta-Analyses
TL;DR: The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess the quality of nonrandomised studies with its design, content and ease of use directed to the task of incorporating the quality assessments in the interpretation of meta-analytic results.

Journal Article
The environment and disease: association or causation?
TL;DR: This paper contrasts Bradford Hill’s approach with a currently fashionable framework for reasoning about statistical associations – the Common Task Framework – and suggests why following Bradford Hill, 50+ years on, is still extraordinarily reasonable.
