Musculoskeletal conditions

• Key facts - By World Health Organization

• Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability globally.

• Musculoskeletal conditions and injuries are not just conditions of older age; they are prevalent across the life-course. Between one in three and one in five people (including children) live with a musculoskeletal pain condition.

• Musculoskeletal conditions significantly limit mobility and dexterity, leading to early retirement from work, reduced accumulated wealth and reduced ability to participate in social roles.

•The greatest proportion of non-cancer persistent pain conditions is accounted for by musculoskeletal conditions.

• Highly prevalent among multi-morbidity health states, musculoskeletal conditions are prevalent in one third to one-half of multi-morbidity presentations, particularly in older people.
