“…In relation to physical inactivity, this behavior has been associated with an increase in sedentary behavior, such as computer and television use [17]. Silva et al [31] observed in an epidemiological study that 31.8% of adolescents using the computer had at least one symptom of musculoskeletal pain. In a study of more than 500 Danish children, an association was observed between a high number of hours of TV or video use and low back pain.…”

“…Although back pain tends to increase with age, it has also been reported by younger populations [6]. A recent study demonstrated that the prevalence of low back pain and neck pain in adolescents ranges from 19.5 to 56%, which might be considered an important public health issue [7]. Furthermore, Hakala et al [8], in a study with 436 students, showed that 20 in the neck and shoulders, and 15.4% reported some impairment in their daily activities due to low back pain.…”

Objective. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) amongst adolescents and to contrast the prevalence of TMD according to the DC/TMD clinical examination protocol versus the prevalence of TMD pain according to two screening questions. Material and methods. Two hundred and ten adolescents living in the county of Bergen, Norway, were offered an additional examination for TMD in connection with their regular dental check-up appointment. Five dental clinics were selected with differing socio-economic patient populations, as reflected by stratification of average levels of DMFT, and an equal number of girls and boys were invited to participate. The participants answered two screening questions for TMD pain followed by a clinical examination according to the DC/TMD protocol by five calibrated examiners. Results. Acceptable calibration results were obtained. Approximately 80% of eligible participants consented to partake. According to the criteria of DC/TMD, the prevalence of TMD amongst the study participants was 11.9%, with a peak at 16 years of age. According to the self-reported screening questions for TMD pain, 7.2 % responded positively. Only 7 participants with a TMD diagnosis established according to the DC/TMD clinical examination protocol reported also TMD pain based on answering the two screening questions. Conclusion. The prevalence of TMD is higher for girls than for boys and the prevalence of TMD established according to the DC/TMD criteria was higher than the prevalence of TMD pain estimated by use of screening questions for self-reported pain.

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to examine smartphone-using university students’ musculoskeletal system pain complaints, duration of smartphone and computer usage, participation in moderate-vigorous physical activities (MVPA), and prolonged sitting time.Material and methods: This study was conducted on Hitit University students (n = 387; 206 female, 181 male) in the province of Çorum. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ) (sports/exercise activities section), and a personal information form prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and the t-test were used to determine differences between groups. The Pearson chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between categorical variables.Results: It was observed that half of the participants with musculoskeletal system pain complaints (54.5%) feel the pain in all four areas (neck, shoulder, upper and lower back). There was no statistically significant relationship between physical activity intensity and pain complaint (p > 0.05). The students with musculoskeletal pain complaints spend more time on the smartphone and computer than students who do not have pain complaints (p < 0.05). During electronic device usage, the students who are in the low-intensity physical activity category spend more time sitting down than students in the moderate/vigorous intensity physical activity category (p < 0.05).Conclusions: In consequence, information can be provided about the importance of reducing sitting time during smartphone use and increasing the duration of moderate/vigorous-intensity physical activity (PA) so awareness can be raised on the issue among university students.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in adolescents and association with computer and videogame use

Abstract: A high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in adolescents, as well as an increased amount of time using digital devices was observed. However, it was only possible to observe an association between the increased use of these devices and the presence of cervical and low back pain.
