The most frequent causes of LBP are prolonged sitting, improper sitting position, bad body posture, excessive activity, and trauma. Risks of LBP are prolonged working such as computer operator. This study aimed to obtain the correlation of sitting duration of computer operators in travel agencies in Manado to LBP. This was an analytical observasional study with a cross sectional design. Data were collected by using questionnaires. The result showed that of 30 subjects, 27 (90%) had suffered from LBP. An upright sitting position is the most position that caused LBP in 18 subjects (60%). The sitting position where the knees were as high as the hip caused LBP in 25 subjects (83,33%). Prolonged sitting of 7-8 hours contributed in 21 subjects (70%). The alternative Fisher exact test showed a strong correlation (P=0.014) between prolonged sitting and LBP in computer operators of travel agencies. An upright sitting position (P=0.028) and the sitting position where knees were as high as the hips (P=0.003) were also correlated with LBP.
