| Abstract |
Back pain is a common cause for health care utilization and inability to work and associated with corresponding costs. The aim of the study was to investigate socioeconomic inequalities in chronic back pain in the adult general population. The analyses were based on pooled data of three waves (2009, 2010, 2012) of the nationwide German Health Update (GEDA) study carried out by the Robert Koch Institute (n = 62,606 aged 18 years and older). Self-reported back pain symptoms persisting at least three months were used to determine lifetime and 12-month prevalence. For analyzing socioeconomic differences in the prevalence of chronic back pain, a multidimensional SES index and its three individual components - educational level, occupational status and income - were used. About every sixth man (17.1%) and every fourth woman (24.4%) reported chronic back pain in the past twelve months. With decreasing SES, the 12-month prevalence of chronic back pain increased (Relative Index of Inequality (RII) [95% CI], men = 2.29 [2.04-2,56], women=1.92 [1.76-2.09]). Similar results were observed for lifetime prevalence. For both men and women, educational level, occupational status and income each had independent effects on chronic back pain prevalence. In Germany, back pain is widely prevalent. Our finding that different aspects of SES are independently associated with chronic back pain prevalence is a challenge but also a chance for treatment and preventive strategies combining behavioral and setting-oriented measures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 July 2017.
All research outputs
#4,122,990
of 25,032,929 outputs
Outputs from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#170
of 1,020 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#67,636
of 319,062 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#5
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,032,929 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,020 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,062 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
