“…We also found an association between obesity and chronic pain in lower back, knee and lower limb. These findings support prior researches conducted by Webb et al (24) Miranda et al (19) and Jannini et al (25). The correlation between obesity and low back pain may be explained through inflammatory mechanisms (26).…”

“…A prevalência desses sintomas varia de 30% a 65% nessa população (Jannini et al, 2011;Zapata et al, 2006a;Sperotto et al, 2015;Huguet et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2016;Roth-Isigkeit et al, 2005). Ademais, os adolescentes podem apresentar síndromes musculoesqueléticas, condições que costumam ser subdiagnosticadas e que podem influenciar as atividades diárias, como a redução dos níveis de recreação e lazer (Maia et al, 2016;Hakala et al, 2012).…”

“…Desde o lançamento da primeira geração de "iPhone", em 2007, nos Estados Unidos da América, essa tecnologia alterou os hábitos diários dos adolescentes no tocante ao uso de dispositivos eletrônicos. A utilização de um questionário individual, confidencial, autoaplicável e padronizado, foi fundamental para que os alunos pudessem respondê-lo de forma adequada (Jannini et al, 2011;Zapata et al, 2006a;Zapata et al, 2006b). Ademais, o questionário apresentou uma excelente confiabilidade teste-reteste para essa população, apontando uma adequada concordância entre as respostas do pré-teste e do reteste em um intervalo de cerca de trinta dias, como também foi demonstrado em outras publicações (Jannini et al, 2011;Zapata et al, 2006a;Zapata et al, 2006b).…”
