This review of studies on the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain demonstrates the epidemiologic relevance of this health problem. Based on the results of the German National Health Survey, about 16% of the adult population is affected by severe musculoskeletal pain. Prevalence in women is higher than in men (women: 18%, men: 14%) and dependent on age, with a maximum prevalence occurring around the age of 50 to 60. In a comparison with results on the prevalence of chronic widespread pain, a realistic estimate of the prevalence of clinically relevant musculoskeletal pain can be derived. Findings from longitudinal studies show considerable agreement with respect to the natural course of musculoskeletal pain. Known risk factors-apart from a history of pain experience-are only moderately associated with the occurrence and course of musculoskeletal pain.
