Objective: To estimate the prevalence and associated factors to lumbar instability and/or low back pain on the stevedores of the Mercado Mayorista de Lima. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in 250 stevedores. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to estimate the low back pain at the moment of the interview. Also, the Backache Index (BAI) was used to evaluate the low back pain in 5 movements. For the evaluation of the lumbar instability, the clinic test of Passive Lumbar Extension (PLE) was used. Finally, for analysis purposes, the variable ambas alteraciones (IDE / ELP) was created. Results: The prevalence of low back pain in the last 3 months in the stevedores was 68, 8%, (172/250), and for lumbar instability was 34, 4% (86/250). An association between the variable ambas alteraciones with years of work ≥ 11 years was found ([IC 95%= 1, 08 - 3, 42]; p= 0, 03). There was also association between the Backache Index (BAI) and years of use of the lumbar belt ([IC95%= 1, 01 - 1, 24]; p= 0, 04). In the adjusted model, no significative results were found. Conclusions: The low back pain and spine instability had as an associative factor the years of use of the lumbar belt. Another factor to have in consideration is the years of work, because working more than 11 years could end in the development of low back pain and lumbar instability.
