In Malaysia, there are increasing higher expectation of school children's
academic performance with parents, school authorities, teachers, media,
politician and government placing greater emphasis on examination results of
schoolchildren and schools. Children are facing heavier school curriculum and
co-curriculum, and may lead to more schoolbooks and school equipment
needed, thus increasing their schoolbag weight that may caused them to
experience low back pain (LBP}. The primary objective of this study was to
determine the schoolbag weight and their ratio with schoolchildren body weight
among primary schoolchildren in lipis, Pahang. The second objective was to
determine the prevalence of low back pain among these school children and its
association with schoolbag weight. This was a cross sectional study conducted at
Lipis District involving 889 primary school children from Primary 1 to Primary 5
conducted from September to November 2005. Each schoolchildren's height,
body weight and backpack weight were measured. All the information was
gathered by using a guided questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software
version 1 0.0. The results showed that the mean schoolbag weight was 4.5 kg (95
0k Cl: 4.4 kg, 4.6 kg). In percentage of body weight the mean was 17.8% (95 °/o
Cl: 17.4%, 18.2%). About 90.0% of these schoolchildren carried schoolbag
weighing more than 10°Al of their body weight and 62.9% of them carried
