  1. Cross tabulations of the number of days with LBP in the past year for survey 2 vs. survey 3 when taking non responders into account. The table shows the proportions of people in each category in percentages (%) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) which were found in the same or in a different category of LBP duration at the 3rd survey as compared to the 2nd survey.
