Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors for musculoskeletal pain among medical students in Saudi Arabia. Method: A cross-sectional analysis for one Saudi medical school in 2015-2016 academic year.Themain outcomes were measured byThe Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) which was used to screen for pain in different anatomic joints during the past week and past year. Another questionnaire was developed to assess for contributing factors for the pain. Result: 849 medical students were analyzed with a response rate (73.31 %.). There were57.85% of the students suffering of musculoskeletal pain in the past week, and 43.47% in past year. There is a higher prevalence among female medical students with p value <0.01. Previous trauma, family history of trauma, high computer hours use, being in clinical years, and high BMI were the main factors contributing to MSP in this study. Conclusion:The study demonstrates a very high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain medical students which may affect the lifestyle and academic performance in medical schools.Copy Right, IJAR, 2017,.

Background:-Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) which includes commonly low back pain, shoulders pain and neck pain is a common heath problem that affect both male and female. World-wide estimates of lifetime prevalence of low back pain (LBP) vary from 50 to 84 % and 20-30% at any given time [1]. Musculoskeletal pain affects people's mood leading to depression, anxiety, irritability, poor social interactions, and lower overall health status, and that can limit the individual productivity, induces stress and it is socially costing in terms of health care. Although the Musculoskeletal pain represented as a common occupational problem it may affects younger population like school and university students who have not yet entered their working life. Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated a higher prevalence of MSP among medical and dental students compared to other university students. Several studies investigated the prevalence and factors associated with MSP among medical students. However, there are no previous studies have been conducted among medical students in Saudi Arabia. The authors aim in this study to measure the prevalence of this health problem among medical students in Umm Al-Qura University, College of Medicine (UQUMed) in Saudi Arabia, compare it with other investigated risk factors in literatures, and look for other possible factors that may contribute to MSP.

“…Obesity consistently emerges as a key and potentially modifiable risk factor in the onset and progression of musculoskeletal conditions and pain (Wearing et al, 2006), which in its turn impairs the ability to perform weightbearing activities such as walking. Previous research demonstrated that people with bipolar disorder with a higher BMI indeed experience more foot or ankle problems and back pain, which impairs the ability to perform daily life activities .…”

A sedentary lifestyle is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Little is known however about sedentary behavior in people with bipolar disorder (BD). The primary aim of this study was to explore associations between sitting time (as a proxy for a sedentary lifestyle) and physical fitness and metabolic parameters in BD. A secondary aim was to investigate associations between psychiatric symptoms, psychotropic medication use and sitting time. Thirty-nine (21♀) participants (43.7±12.4 years) completed a full metabolic screening, the sitting time item of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology selfreport and the Hypomania Checklist-32. Additionally participants performed the Eurofit-test battery and 6-minute walk test. The mean time spent sitting per day for the entire sample was 7.0 ± 3.0 hours. A higher body mass index, worse physical fitness and higher antipsychotic medication dose were identified as independent predictors of higher levels of sitting behaviour. The model explained 76.5% of the variability in the sitting time. Given that a sedentary lifestyle is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, future interventions specifically targeting time spend sitting are warranted in BD, with a particular emphasis on those with high body mass index and low fitness levels.

Physical activity (PA) and diet directly influence obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) as important determinants of body composition. Understanding how PA relates to MS in youth is of great importance, and could offer a common strategy for clinical and public health approaches to control this condition. The underlying disorder of MS is a condition of insulin resistance, and a strong relationship between PA level and insulin sensitivity is clearly ascertained. The type, duration, frequency and intensity of PA affect fuel metabolism, in particular carbohydrate and lipid oxidation. The possible modulation of metabolism because of increased fat oxidation by PA is the basis for both prevention and restoration of insulin resistance and MS in obese children. In daily clinical practice, diet followed by pharmacologic treatment are usually the approaches taken, whereas PA is often considered just a suggestion. Although diet and PA have different effects on body composition, with both contributing to fat loss, only PA increases muscle mass and thus has a direct effect on metabolic function, expressed by changes in cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, it is important to remember their complementary but different targets in daily clinical practice, such as body weight control for diet and metabolic health for PA. In this review, we have summarized the literature on the relationship between PA and MS in pediatrics. Then, we have analyzed the possibility of using PA for MS treatment, as an alternative to drugs, by discussing the results of intervention studies, reasons for low compliance to PA, related benefits, adherence difficulties and costs. Finally, we have tried to suggest recommendations for a multiple-step PA strategy in children and adolescents at risk for MS, by considering PA as the 'key' player in treatment.
