“…However, our study did not find a significant association between BMI and the prevalence of NSLBP. This finding was consistent with previous local studies conducted in Taif and Jazan (Hassaan et al, 2022;Hendi et al, 2021), which found no significant association between BMI and musculoskeletal pain. It is worth noting that previous international studies have reported conflicting results.…”

“…This finding is consistent with several previous studies conducted in different geographical locations. For example, a local study in Taif by (Hendi et al, 2021) found a similar association between gender and the prevalence of NSLBP. Another study conducted in India by (Bansal et al, 2020) found a significant association between female gender and low-back pain.…”

“…On the other hand, a study done among medical students at Taif University showed a higher prevalence of neck pain (36.7%), followed by low-back pain (33.3%) and shoulder pain (22.3%) (Hendi et al, 2021). This difference in results could be attributed to the difference in the targeted population between the samples.…”

“…In addition, the female gender is one of the most important risk factors for having MSP. Thus, it is reasonable that females are usually more affected than males (Dighriri et al, 2019;Hendi et al, 2021;Kinge et al, 2015). In addition, high body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with musculoskeletal symptoms, especially lower extremity symptoms.…”

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is a frequent and prevalent condition. This study aims to determine the prevalence of neck, shoulder, and low-back pain among Jazan residents and investigate the associated factors for MSP. Method: A cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire-based study was conducted among Jazan residents in the Jazan region. A total of 1,238 persons were selected by convenient type sampling. Descriptive statistics, a Chi-squared test, and logistic regression were performed to examine MSP’s prevalence, association, and predictors. Results: The overall lifetime prevalence of neck, shoulder, or low-back pain among both genders was 958 (77.4%). Neck pain was reported by 574 (46.4%) in the 12 months prior to the study and by 841 (67.9%) over the lifetime prior to the survey. Regarding shoulder pain, it was reported by 637 (51.5%) in the 12 months prior to the study and 799 (64.5%) over the lifetime prior to the study. Regarding low-back pain, it was reported by 684 (55.3%) in the 12 months prior to the study and 981 (79.2%) over the lifetime prior tothe study. Female gender has reported a higher prevalence of pain than males. Factors associated with the risk of MSP include consumption of coffee (p-value 0.022), duration of time spent on electronic devices with neck pain (p-value 0.039) and depression on low-back pain (p-value 0.031). Sports activity, was shown to have a protective effect. Conclusion: The prevalence of NSLBP pains was high, as nearly half of the participants experienced each. In this study, the most prominent risk factors for NSLBP are coffee consumption, Psychosomatic symptoms, and various physical activities like swimming.

Background: A considerable number of medical students experience musculoskeletal pain (MSP) during their academic years. In this study, we seek to determine the prevalence of MSP, as well as its associated risk factors, among a sample of medical students at two major universities in Damascus, Syria.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two universities, with a total of 2009 medical students participating in filling-in the paper-based questionnaire. A modified version of the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was utilized in this study. Results:The questionnaire was completed by 2009 medical students. The majority were between the ages of 21 and 25 years old, female (53%), and in their clinical years (55%). 1081 (54%) of all students had at least one MSP site in the previous week, while 1654 (82%) had at least one MSP site in the last year. MSP in the previous week was strongly linked with a history of trauma (odds ratio [OR] 2.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.79-2.86, p = 0.001), as well as a family history of MSP (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.12-1.76, p = 0.0029). MSP in the previous year was significantly associated with gender (OR 0.637, 95% CI 0.50-0.80, p = 0.0001), history of trauma (OR 4.59, 95% CI 2.93-7.17, p ≤ 0.001), and family history of MSP (OR 4.59, 95% CI 1.36-2.68, p = 0.0002). On multivariate analysis, factors associated with MSP in the previous week and last year were familial history of MSP (p = 0.0457) (p = 0.0024), respectively, and a history of trauma (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion:MSP had a high prevalence among Syrian medical students, especially female students, those with history of trauma, and those with a family history of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). This major health problem should be known to medical institutions, and awareness programs are required.

Background Low back and neck pain are common in the general population, but the prevalence among Canadian post-secondary students is not well known. We aimed to determine the one-week prevalence of neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) among postsecondary students in Canada. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Education at Ontario Tech University, and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in the Fall of 2017. Neck and low back pain intensity in the past week were measured with the 11-point numerical rating scale. We report the cumulative, gender- and institution-specific one-week prevalence (95% CI) of any pain (1–10/10) and moderate to severe pain (≥ 3/10). Results The one-week prevalence of any neck pain ranged from 45.4% (95% CI: 38.4, 52.4) in the Faculty of Education to 76.9% (95% CI: 72.9, 80.4) at CMCC. The one-week prevalence of neck pain ≥3/10 ranged from 44.4% (95% CI: 37.5, 51.4) in the Faculty of Education to 58.4% (95% CI: 54.0, 62.7) at CMCC. The one-week prevalence of any low back pain ranged from 60.9% (95% CI: 53.8, 67.5) in the Faculty of Education to 69.0% (95% CI: 64.8, 73.0) at CMCC, and the one-week prevalence of low back pain ≥ 3/10 ranged from 47.8% (95% CI: 43.4, 52.2) at CMCC to 55.1% (95% CI: 51.2, 58.9) in the Faculty of Health Sciences. The prevalence of any back or neck pain and pain ≥ 3/10 was consistently higher in females than males, with the largest difference seen for neck pain at CMCC. Conclusion Most post-secondary students in our samples experienced LBP and NP in the past week. Overall, the one-week prevalence of NP and LBP was higher among chiropractic students and among females. This study should draw attention to school administrators about the burden of NP and LBP in post-secondary students.
