“…In order to measure height, the automatic stadiometer BSM 370 (Biospace Co., Seoul, Korea) was used in a standing position without shoes with a precision of 0.1 cm. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using this formula: weight (kg)/ (height) 2 (meter) 2 . Waist circumference was measured by non-stretched and exible tape in standing position at the level of the iliac crest three times, and the average was reported.…”

“…One of the most common musculoskeletal problems is low back pain, which affects people's quality of life [1]. Nonspeci c low back pain is the main cause of back pain; however; low back pain is usually caused by disc herniation, lumbar stenosis, trauma, muscle strain, lumbar spondylosis, spine and kidney infections, certain cancers, endometriosis, arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [2,3]. Results from a systematic review and meta-analysis on 41 studies have shown that the incidence of low back pain is about 25% among people who have experienced for the rst time, without considering community or occupation [4].…”

Background Musculoskeletal disorders can reduce the quality of life and work capacity. In this study, we found that better muscle strength could prevent musculoskeletal pain, including arthralgia and back & joint stiffness. The study assessed handgrip strength (HGS) in relation to low back pain and arthralgia in Kurdish men. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using data from Ravansar non-communicable diseases (RaNCD) cohort study on 2164 men aged 35-65 years. HGS was measured using a hand-held hydraulic hand grip dynamometer. Low back pain, arthralgia, and joint stiffness were evaluated by the RaNCD cohort study physician using a standard questionnaire. Results The results showed that 21.39% and 24.58% of studied participants had low back pain and arthralgia, respectively. Among the participants with low back pain, 14.5% had back stiffness, and among those with arthralgia, 12.8% had joint stiffness. The mean of HGS in participants with arthralgia and back & joint stiffness was significantly less than those without these disorders (P<0.001, P=0.05, and P= 0.005, respectively). Multiple-adjusted OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for arthralgia and back and joint stiffness across muscle strength showed the HGS increase to be associated with a lower risk of arthralgia and back &joint stiffness, but not low back pain. Conclusions Our results highlighted that higher HGS was associated with a lower risk of arthralgia and back & joint stiffness. However, there was no association between HGS and low back pain. Exercise and adherence to proper nutrition are suggested to enhance muscle strength in order to reduce musculoskeletal pain.

“…However, the peak prevalence of symptoms has been reported between the ages of 40 and 69 [4]. Generally, low back pain is the major reason for immobility, as well as decreased physical function and work capacity that is important, especially in men as the main workforce [2].…”

“…With the development of pedicle screw technology, most patients with spinal fractures have achieved good results with surgery. However, some patients have chronic instability and low back pain after surgery, with severe disc degeneration, which seriously affects quality of life [1][2][3]. The intervertebral disc plays an important role in maintaining the stress distribution of the spine.…”

Background: The cartilage endplate plays an important role in the stress distribution and nutrition metabolism of intervertebral disc. The healing morphology of the endplate after spinal fracture and its effect on the intervertebral disc degeneration are still unclear. Methods: 51 patients with single-level thoracolumbar fractures underwent posterior open reduction and pedicle screw fixation. Combined with the initial CT and MRI images, the endplate injury was defined as three types, which are unilateral endplate injury, bilateral endplate injury and no endplate injury. According to the location of the injury in the endplate, it was further divided into endplate central injury and endplate peripheral injury. The degree of post-traumatic disc lesions and disc degeneration during follow-up were classified based on the Sander classification and the Pfirrmann classification, respectively. According to the T1 image of MRI in the final follow-up, the healing morphology of endplates was classified into three types including the increased endplate curvature, the irregular healing and the traumatic Schmorl nodes. Results: Cartilage endplate fractures are closely related to the degree of degeneration of the intervertebral disc (P=0.003). Injuries in different parts of the endplate have no significant effect on the intervertebral disc degeneration (P=0.204). The healing morphology after endplate fracture significantly affected the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration (P=0.001). The comparison of groups showed that the effects of irregular healing and traumatic Schmorl nodes on disc degeneration were not statistically different, but were significantly different from those with increased curvature. Conclusions: Increased endplate curvature, irregular healing and traumatic Schmorl nodes are three common forms of healing. The irregular healing and the traumatic Schmorl nodes are closely related to intervertebral disc degeneration. The existence and severity of the endplate injury can provide valuable information for individualized clinical decision-making processes.
