Objective(s): The aim of this study was to calculate the prevalence of chronic low back pain, level of disability and modifiable risk factors  among geriatric (>60 years ) with nonspecific LBP. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 409 people with nonspecific low back pain in the District Gujrat, Pakistan. Participants were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria by   Non-probability convenient sampling technique from the general population Gujrat during August to November 2022. After taking a written consent, Data was collected. All data was analyzed with SPSS software version 24. Mean ± SD was calculated for descriptive analysis .Frequencies and percentages were used in frequency table presentation of the qualitative  data. All findings were estimated at a confidence interval of 95 per cent.

Results: Average age ,height  ,weight and BMI was 62.01± 2.91 SD,167.92 ±10.51SD, 73.99 ±11.63 SD and  26.55 ±5.2 SD respectively .Prevalence of chronic low back pain female gender and obesity  was found to 59.1%,69.2% and 61.61respectively  Association of demographic data and pain duration was not found to be statistically significant with p value >0.05 .Association of  obesity as a risk factor with pain duration  was found to be statistically significant <0.05 .Disability was statistically significant to pain duration with p value <0.05.

Conclusion(s): The present study conclude high prevalence of chronic low back pain. Obesity is  a modifiable risk factor for chronic low back pain .Disability is caused by chronic low back .
