An adequate number controls (n = 50, 36 female 14 male) no prior history also included same clinic for comparison. A total fifteen characteristics measured all  subjects estimate indices. In findings, gender distribution chi-square values indices showed MI LCI significantly associated LBP in both sexes QI was found be statistically significant only. With age-related values, all age groups but, male patients, only younger group, i.e. 21-30 years. LCI, OTI 41-50 years, 51+ years respectively. Occupation-wise revealed that working women housewives but LCI. group others (comprisedof politicians, carpenters, retired employees labourers), agricultural workers, agriculture, businessmen others. It could concluded that, successfully used as risk indicators LBP. Key Words : Index, Typologic Constitutional Index,  Muscle pain.
