“…Another important item identified, which may explain the discrepancy in prevalence, is the anatomical definition, which varies between studies (i.e., including or excluding the shoulder region). 24 In the adult population, as previously mentioned, there are few epidemiological studies on the prevalence of CP; however, the main studies on this subject are aimed at special populations, such as athletes 31 with 48%, breastfeeding mothers 32 with 58%, spinal surgeons 33 with 74%, wheelchair users 34 with 56%, the elderly 35 with 20%, computer operators 36 with 67%, farmers 37 with 7%, nurses 38 with 57%, dental surgeons 39 with 66% and airline cabin crew 40 with 30%. Thus, considering the high prevalence rates found in specific populations in the scientific literature, together with the data from the present study, we believe that more research is needed to help understand the long-term course of CP and promote ways of preventing it in different occupations and audiences, taking into account age groups.…”
