Background: The effectiveness of the Lumbosacral mechanics in determing level of intensity of low back pain and level of disability at subjects with central obesity has been the subject of debate for many years. The purpose: This study was conducted to investigate if the lumbosacral mechanics could be a predictor of low back dysfunction in subjects with central obesity. Subjects: Seventy subjects with mean age 32.29±1.2 years, mean height 161.29 cm, mean weight 84.69 kg and mean body mass index 32.4 were participated in this study also with waist circumference >88 in females subjects and >102 in male subjects referred from an orthopedist with the diagnosis of chronic mechanical low back pain since more than 3 months and class I obesity (30-34.9). Method: Lumbosacral mechanics were determined by x-ray, waist circumference was determined by tape measurement, intensity of low back pain was determined by numerical pain rating scale and level of disability was determined by Oswestry disability index scoring and all of these variables were determined for all subjects
