Objective  To examine the association between two types of heavy work investment, workaholism and work engagement, and low back pain (LBP) prevalence. Methods  We conducted a paper-based survey of Japanese hospital workers. The Dutch Workaholism Scale (DUWAS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used to classify the participants into four groups and perform multiple logistic regression analyses. Results  Among 699 participants, the group with low DUWAS and high UWES at 37.1% had the lowest LBP prevalence. In order, the groups with low DUWAS and UWES were at 51.7%, high DUWAS and UWES 58.5%, and high DUWAS and low UWES 62.4%, with multivariate-adjusted odds ratios of 1.77, 2.01, and 2.33, respectively. Conclusion  LBP prevalence among Japanese hospital workers was reduced by high levels of work engagement, even at high levels of workaholism.
