- Title
Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Neglected Group at Public Health and Epidemiology Meetings?
- Authors
Perruccio, Anthony V.; Yip, Calvin; Badley, Elizabeth M.; Power, J. Denise
- Abstract
The article discusses the authors' claim that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are not addressed at very many epidemiology and public health conferences in the North American nations of Canada and the U.S., and it mentions the MSD osteoarthritis, as well as the "Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors" study report. An online literature review search is examined, along with America's public health community and the implication that MSDs can lead to chronic pain and disability.
