“…The prevalence data obtained from this study Table 1 is similar to the data reported in previous publications [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . The increasing prevalence with the recall period was previously documented by Camargo DM, et al 12 , besides similar prevalence the day of the survey (34.2%) for acute pain (18.3%) and chronic pain (22.8%).…”

“…Leggat PA, et al (2008) 9 found that the computer screen time lapses between 16-20 hours/ week were associated with low back pain (OR = 5.5; 95%CI: 1.1 -33.1). Likewise, Grimby-Ekman A, et al (2009) 13 showed that the number of times/week, that the computer is used for ≥4 hours/day without a break is positively associated to neck pain (OR = 1.7; 95%CI: 0.94-2.94). Boström M, et al (2008) 33 also found this association in subjects who used the computer 8-14 hours/week during their free time (PR = 2.3; 95%CI: 1.20-4.5).…”

“…Studies conducted with college students show a prevalence of back pain between 30% -70%, depending on the time period analyzed, the anatomic region involved and the evolution time [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . In the revised literature, the associations between pain and disability 5 , and the impact of pain on daily living activities have been found 9 .…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of pain, musculoskeletal syndromes, orthopedic disorders and using computers and playing videogames among obese adolescents.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that investigated 100 consecutive obese adolescents and 100 healthy-weight controls using a confidential, self-report questionnaire covering demographic data, sports participation, painful musculoskeletal system symptoms and using computers and playing videogames. The questionnaire's test-retest reliability was tested. Physical examination covered six musculoskeletal syndromes and seven orthopedic disorders. Results:The kappa index for test-retest was 0.724. Pain and musculoskeletal syndromes were equally prevalent in both groups (44 vs. 56%, p = 0.09; 12 vs. 16%, p = 0.541; respectively). Notwithstanding, orthopedic disorders (98 vs. 76%, p = 0.0001), tight quadriceps (89 vs. 44%, p = 0.0001) and genu valgum (87 vs. 24%, p = 0.0001) were significantly more prevalent in obese adolescents than in controls. Median time spent using a computer the day before, on Saturdays and on Sundays were all lower among the obese subjects (30 vs. 60 minutes, p = 0.0001; 1 vs. 60 minutes, p = 0.001; and 0 vs. 30 minutes, p = 0.02; respectively). Obese adolescents were less likely to play handheld videogames (2 vs. 11%, p = 0.003) and there was no difference in the two groups' use of full-sized videogames (p > 0.05). Comparing obese adolescents with pain to those free from pain revealed that pain was more frequent among females (59 vs. 39%, p = 0.048) and was associated with greater median time spent playing on Sundays [0 (0-720) vs. 0 (0-240) minutes, p = 0.028].Conclusions: Obesity can cause osteoarticular system damage at the start of adolescence, particularly to the lower limbs. Programs developed specifically for obese female adolescents with musculoskeletal pain are needed.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2011;87(4):329-335: Adolescent, obesity, pain, musculoskeletal syndrome, computers, videogames, handheld videogames. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar presença de dor, síndromes músculo-esqueléticas, alterações ortopédicas e uso de computador e videogame em adolescentes obesos.Métodos: Um estudo transversal avaliou 100 adolescentes consecutivos com obesidade e 100 eutróficos a partir de um questionário confidencial, autoaplicável, incluindo dados demográficos, prática esportiva, sintomas dolorosos do sistema músculo-esquelético e uso de computador e videogame. Pré-teste e reteste do questionário foram realizados. O exame físico avaliou seis síndromes músculo-esqueléticas e sete alterações ortopédicas.Resultados: O índice de kappa entre pré-teste e reteste foi 0,724. Dor e síndromes músculo-esqueléticas foram igualmente prevalentes nos dois grupos (44 versus 56%, p = 0,09; 12 versus 16%, p = 0,541; respectivamente). Entretanto, alterações ortopédicas (98 versus 76%, p = 0,0001), encurtamento de quadríceps (89 versus 44%, p = 0,0001) e geno valgo (87 versus 24%, p = 0,0001) foram significantemente mais evidenciados nos obesos versus control...

“…In this study, about one fourth of students who reported new onset of thoracic spine pain experienced persistent symptoms. Grimby-Ekman et al 33) followed 1204 Swedish undergraduate students and found that 52% had ongoing neck or thoracic spine pain. Conceivably, these findings highlight the need to give further attention to developing specific measures to prevent thoracic spine pain and to reduce the impact of thoracic spine pain later in the lives of young subjects as they are important to the future workforce and economy.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study aimed to examine the 1 year incidence and identify biopsychosocial factors predicting the onset and persistence of thoracic spine pain in undergraduate students.[Subject] A 1 year prospective study was carried out among 684 healthy undergraduate students.[Methods] At baseline, a self-administered questionnaire and standardized physical examination were employed to gather biopsychosocial data. Follow-up data on the incidence of thoracic spine pain were collected every 3 months. Two regression models were built to analyze factors predicting the onset and persistence of thoracic spine pain.[Results] The 1 year incidence of thoracic spine pain was 27%, and 23% of subjects reported persistent symptoms. The onset of thoracic spine pain was predicted by female gender, poor neck extensor muscle endurance and high percentage duration of mouse use during computer work. Female students being in the second year of their studies and unsupported elbows during computer use were predictors of persistent symptoms.[Conclusion] Thoracic spine pain is quite common among undergraduate students and many of them may have persistent symptoms. Interventions aimed at reducing the occurrence of symptoms in undergraduate students should, at the least, include teaching 2nd year female students how to perform computer work safely.
