RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies focusing on multisite musculoskeletal pain have revealed that the prevalence of multisite pain is high in general populations. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the prevalence of multisite musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months and in the last seven days, in a population-based sample and investigate its association with demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, reported morbidity and ergonomic variables. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional population-based survey in Bauru, São Paulo (Brazil). METHODS: 600 individuals were interviewed. The following data were collected: participants' characteristics, through a precoded questionnaire; physical activity level, through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire; and musculoskeletal symptoms, through the Nordic questionnaire. Descriptive, bivariate and Poisson regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: The prevalence of multisite musculoskeletal pain was 46.5% (confidence interval, CI 42.5 to 50.5) in the last 12 months and 26.1% (CI 22.8 to 29.8) in the last seven days. The variables associated with multisite pain in the last 12 months were female sex, presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus or depression, watching TV more than three times a week and working in a seated position. Formerly smoking was a protection factor. The variables associated with multisite pain in the last seven days were female sex, age group 60 years and over, low income, presence of comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes mellitus or depression and working in a seated position. CONCLUSION: There was high prevalence of multisite musculoskeletal pain, which was associated with demographic, socioeconomic, work-related, electronic device-related and reported morbidity variables.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To compare men and women with low back pain and identify the prevalence and some of its associated factors in a population-based sample of adults aged 20 and over a seven day period. METHODS: Cross-sectional study based on a population survey. 600 individuals were interviewed on the following: (1) characteristics of the participants (i.e. demographic, socioeconomic, and labor aspects); (2) physical activity level (IPAQ); (3) musculoskeletal symptoms (Nordic Questionnaire). Descriptive, bivariate, and Poisson regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Overall prevalence of LBP was 28.8%, being 39.0% in men and 60.9% in women. The measured associated factors in men were age between 36 and 59 years (PR=3.00 [1.31-6.88]) and over 60 (PR=4.52 [2.02-10.12]), smoking (PR=2.47 [1.20-5.11]), fewer years of formal education (0-4 years) (PR=6.37 [2.15-18.62]), and hypertension (PR=2.27 [1.15-4.50]). For women, the associated factors were occupational activities that involved heavy lifting (PR=1.80 [1.03-3.16]), standing posture leaning forward (PR=2.04 [1.20-3.44]), sitting posture leaning forward (PR=2.17 [1.24-3.82]), and sitting at the computer three or more days per week (PR=4.00 [1.44-11.11]). Widowed or divorced participants were more likely to report LBP, in both men (PR=3.06 [1.40-6.66]) and women (PR=2.11 [1.15-3.88]). CONCLUSION: This study reveals high prevalence of low back pain in a seven day period. Older age, low education, hypertension, and smoking were associated with LBP in men. Occupational and ergonomic factors were associated with LBP in women. Marital status was associated with LBP in both genders.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To verify the association among sociodemographic variables, physical activity level and health-related quality of life in adults aged 20 years and over. METHODS: Population-based study, with household sample by clusters. The dependent variables were the PCS and MCS scores of the instrument 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the independent variables were gathered in sociodemographic characteristics and the level of physical activity. Absolute and relative frequency distributions were used for categorical variables and bivariate analysis, using Student's t-test and ANOVA and multivariate using non-conditional logistic regression. RESULTS: Of the 600 interviewees, the mean PCS score for men was 80.2 and for women 74.6, while for MCS, 83.8 (±16.9) and 76.5 (±23.3), for men and women, respectively. Women tend to report lower scores than men in all domains: men (OR=4.83) and women (OR=4.80) were older (OR=4.34) (OR=3.57) and sedentary women (OR=1.90) were associated with lower PCS scores, while older men (OR=3.96) and widowed and separated' (OR=3.03) had lower MSC scores. CONCLUSION: HRQoL was associated with advancing age and schooling, in both sexes, sedentary women and widowed and separated men.

BACKGROUND: Neck pain is a musculoskeletal condition with high prevalence that may affect the physical, social, and psychological aspects of the individual, contributing to the increase in costs in society and business. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of neck pain and associated factors in a population-based sample of adults aged 20 and more. METHODS: Cross-sectional study based on a population survey. A total number of 600 individuals were interviewed in their homes, and the following data were collected: (1) participant characteristics (demographic, socioeconomic, and work-related aspects) using a pre-coded questionnaire; (2) physical activity level using the IPAQ; and (3) musculoskeletal symptoms using the Nordic questionnaire. Descriptive, bivariate, and Poisson regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: The prevalence of neck pain was 20.3% (95% CI 17.3-23.7). The adjusted analyses showed that individuals who were widowers or separated (PR=2.26; 1.42-5.88), had a low income (PR=1.32; 1.22-6.27) or low educational level (PR=1.83; 1.02-5.26), worked while sitting and leaning (PR=1.55; 1.08-2.40), and who reported having two or more diseases (PR=1.71; 1.55-6.31) remained associated with neck pain. CONCLUSION: This study reveals the high prevalence of neck pain and remarkable association with widowed/separated people who have low income and low educational level, who perform their occupational activities in sitting and leaning positions, and who reported having two or more diseases. Knowledge of these risk factors will contribute to the development of forms of assistance in which neck pain can be prevented and better managed.

Abstract Introduction: The aging process causes losses that lead to decreased balance, gait speed and functional capacity and, therefore, there is a need of specific protocols to work preventively these variables, which will contribute to the decrease in the frequency of falls in this population. Objective: Verify the effect of a program of multisensory and closed kinetic chain exercises on the functional capacity and balance in elderly women. Methods: Randomized clinical trial masked (blind). Subjects were 32 elderly women from the Centro de Convivência of the Bauru Department of Social Welfare (Secretaria de Bem-Estar Social de Bauru) distributed in two groups: control (CG = 15) and experimental (EG = 17). Interventions: The program of multisensory and closed kinetic chain exercises was applied during an hour, once a week, for 12 weeks. Main measures: Functional capacity was measured by Timed Up and Go (TUG) and the 10-meter walking test (TC10) and their balance by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Results: Regarding the comparison between the moments M1 and M2 of the EG after the intervention, there was a statistically significant increase in the functional capability (p = 0.00006), walking speed (p = 0.0008) and balance (p = 0.0006). Conclusion: The multisensory and closed kinetic chain-training program indicated a beneficial effect in the improvement of the elderly women balance and functional performance.
Resumo Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento provoca perdas que levam à diminuição do equilíbrio, da velocidade da marcha e capacidade funcional e, portanto, há necessidade de protocolos específicos para trabalhar preventivamente essas variáveis, que contribuirão para a diminuição na freqüência de quedas nesta população. Objetivo: verificar o efeito de um programa de exercícios multissensoriais e de cadeia cinética fechada sobre a capacidade funcional e o equilíbrio em idosas. Métodos: Tratou-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado mascarado (cego). Participaram 32 idosas de Centro de Convivência da Secretaria de Bem-estar social de Bauru, distribuídas em dois grupos: controle (GC = n15) e experimental (GE = 17) avaliadas em dois momentos: inicial (M1 = antes da intervenção) e final (M2 = após intervenção), por meio da capacidade funcional (Timed Up and Go - TUG e velocidade de marcha - TC10) e o equilíbrio pela Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB). O programa de exercícios multissensoriais e de cadeia cinética fechada foi aplicado uma vez por semana, por uma hora, durante 10 semanas. Resultados: Em relação à comparação entre os momentos M1 e M2 do GE após a intervenção, houve um aumento significativo da capacidade funcional (p = 0,00006), velocidade da marcha (p = 0,0008) e do equilíbrio (p = 0,0006). Conclusão: O programa de treinamento multissensorial e de cadeia cinética fechada sinalizou efeito favorável na melhora do equilíbrio e do desempenho funcional de idosas.
