Musculoskeletal pain disorders such as low back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain are a major and ever increasing public health problem among the working population in industrialized countries with social insurance. Especially the economic impact of these diseases on society has been rising, but the disorders do also produce a lot of pain and suffering to the people. It is an important challenge to the health care systems to prevent and treat these disorders, but at the moment poor understanding of the risk factors of these diseases has failed in giving any effective tools to control the musculoskeletal pain disorder epidemic. Most of the epidemiological studies made are cross-sectional and they do not extend to childhood and adolescence, when the organs are developing, achieving their loading strength and possibly being traumatized and starting their degenerative process. The longitudinal Northern Finland 1966 birth cohort study offers a unique opportunity to find early risk factors for musculoskeletal pain syndromes.
