Data collection was conducted using questionnaires, fingertip pulse oximetry, and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). Data analysis used the chi-square test. The study showed a prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among batik workers of 76.7%. The statistical test results showed that all variables were <0.05. Age (P=0.004), length of service (p=0.001), work duration (p=0.002), movement repetition (P=0.036), work posture (p=0.044), workload (p=0.007), BMI (P=0.043). There is a relationship between age, length of service, work duration, movement repetition, work posture, workload, and BMI with low back pain (LBP) among batik workers in Pelayangan District, Jambi City.
