简要总结
Neck pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in Norway among older adolescents and young adults. Despite this, little research exist on risk factors for neck pain in the transitional life phase from adolescence to young adulthood. In this prospective cohort study, already collected data from The Nord-Trøndelag Health study, Young HUNT 3 and HUNT 4 will be used to investigate possible risk factors and risk profiles developed in adolescence.
详细描述
Little research exists about risk factors for neck pain in adolescents and young adults. Knowledge of risk factors associated with development of neck pain can inform practice and can further enable preventive initiatives with the aim of reducing this prevalent and costly disorder. By investigating risk profiles as well as single risk factors, it might be possible to identify behavioural patterns and profiles of adolescent most at risk of developing neck pain in young adulthood.
The objective of this study is to investigate potential risk factors and risk profiles for persistent neck pain in adolescence.
This is a prospective cohort study using data from The North Trøndelag Health study (HUNT). The HUNT study is a large population survey conducted in the North Trøndelag County in Norway, consisting of four surveys conducted with 11 years intervals. All inhabitants above 13 years old were invited to participate in either Young HUNT (13-19 years of age) or HUNT (20 years and above).
In this cohort study, data from Young HUNT 3 (2006-2008) and HUNT 4 (2017-2019) will be used to investigate participants from adolescence through young adulthood. The HUNT3 assessment was conducted during school hours, and the students had to answer a comprehensive questionnaire regarding biological, psychological and social factors. In addition, height and weight were measured. For participants not attending school, the questionnaire was sent to their home address, and participants were invited to do the physical measurements in a local field station.The same participants were followed up 11 years later (HUNT4). The participants were sent an invitation letter home and asked to fulfill a questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Persistent neck pain lasting 3 months or more the last year
时间窗: 11 years
Persistent neck pain lasting 3 months or more the last year was measured by the Standardised Nordic Questionaire for Musculoskeletal Symptoms. The questionnaire included question about pain or stiffness in the neck that has lasted at least 3 consecutive months the last year, with the responses yes or no.
