@entity1 @entity1643 @entity615 @entity4048 @entity158
STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey of 806 pupils in Odense, Denmark was performed. This survey included @entity1 and adolescents ages 8 to 10 and 14 to 16 years obtained through two-stage cluster sampling from schools stratified according to school type, location, and socioeconomic character of the uptake area. OBJECTIVES: To establish the 1-month prevalence of neck, middle back, and @entity1643 and the consequences this disorder may have in relation to age and gender. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The @entity615 and the variety of age groups included in previous studies make it difficult to draw clear conclusions about the onset of @entity158 for various spinal regions in the young. METHODS: Information on back @entity158 within the preceding month, obtained through a standardized interview of 481 @entity1 and 325 adolescents, was categorized according to area of @entity158 , age, and gender. The consequences of back @entity158 also were studied. RESULTS: The 1-month prevalence of back @entity158 was 39%. @entity158 is most common in childhood, whereas @entity158 and @entity158 are equally common in adolescence. Neck @entity158 and @entity158 in more than one area of the spine are rare in both age groups. No gender differences were found. Of those who had back @entity158 , 38% also reported some type of consequence, usually either visits to a medical physician or diminished physical activities. CONCLUSIONS: For clinical and research purposes, @entity4048 , @entity615 , and @entity1643 in childhood should be regarded as three specific entities. In future research the data for different age groups should be reported separately.
