The comorbidity of recurrent back pain with online behavior in adolescents is an urgent problem in modern medicine. Objective. To investigate the comorbid associations of recurrent back pain in adolescents with different types of online behavior. Material and methods. A single-stage screening of random samples of pupils was carried out in 10 Krasnoyarsk general educational institutions. A total of 3,055 adolescents of both sexes aged 12-18 years (mean age, 14.7±1.3 years) were examined. The type of online behavior was assessed according to the Chen Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS) by its total score. Comparison groups were formed by the type of online behavior, age groups (12-14 and 15-18 years), and gender (boys, girls). The data were processed using the Statistica12 program. Results. Adaptive and maladaptive Internet uses were typical for 49.4 and 43.6% of the Krasnoyarsk adolescents, respectively; pathological (Internet-dependent) use was observed in 6.9%. Frequent dorsalgias were more closely associated with the pathological (Internet-dependent) online behavior, female sex, and an older age group. There was also a relationship of the type of dorsalgia to the content consumed – frequent dorsalgias were more associated with the presence of gaming and mixed Internet addiction, and social media addiction in the teenagers. The magnitude of comorbid associations of rare cephalgias was largely due to the female sex and the maladaptive (pathological and non-adaptive) types of online behavior in the teenagers. Conclusion. The level of prevalence of maladaptive types of online behavior in the Krasnoyarsk adolescents, the high magnitude of their association with the type of online behavior, with age and gender confirm the relevance of this problem and indicate the need for further investigations in this area.
