The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with low back pain in school adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study, carried out between September and October 2019, at State Professional Education Schools (EEEPs). The target population was made up of 286 adolescents, aged 15 to 19. Schoolchildren regularly enrolled in the selected schools were included, composing a probabilistic sample. The following questionnaires were applied: Sociodemographic and health history; International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI-BR); Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptom Questionnaire (NMQ) and Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20). The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the SPSS Statistic program version 23.0 IBM®, in the bivariate analysis the Pearson Chi-square test was used. The average age was 16.24 (± 1.01), self-reported brown skin color (53.8%), followed by white color 72 (25.2%), social classes with a predominance of D 150 (52 .4%) and E 90 (31.5%). The prevalence of licking pain found was 50.7% (n=157). A significant association was found between adolescents who are dependent on smartphones (p=0.024), do not sleep well (p=0.000) and those who were suspected of having CMD (p=0.000). A high prevalence of low back pain among adolescents was evidenced, and its association with multiple factors. Therefore, understanding these relationships can be crucial to developing prevention and intervention strategies aimed at adolescents.
