Musculoskeletal conditions (MSC) are among the most frequent in adults in France, with over 20% of the population experiencing bone, joint, and muscle disorders. MSC are an increasing health concern in France, growing in importance on the public health agenda. Some of the present governmental plans are connected with MSC (Pain, the Disabled, Nutrition, Geriatrics). An overview of the present situation in France is provided, regarding the burden, the present situation, and steps forward. Scientific societies and patient groups are actively involved in campaigning in several fields; 2 examples are described: osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathies. The Bone and Joint Decade initiative, officially endorsed by the French Government on June 20, 2000, provides the opportunity to develop more coordinated actions through the national network and international partnership as well (including the European League Against Rheumatism) to finally improve the health-related quality of life for people with MSC.
肌肉骨骼疾病（MSC）是法国成年人中最常见的疾病之一，超过20%的人口患有骨骼、关节和肌肉疾病。在法国，MSC对健康的影响日益受到关注，在公共卫生议程中的重要性不断增加。目前一些政府计划与MSC相关（疼痛、残疾人、营养、老年医学）。本文概述了法国在负担、现状和未来发展方向方面的情况。科学协会和患者团体在多个领域积极开展宣传活动；文中描述了两个例子：骨质疏松症以及类风湿关节炎和脊柱关节病。2000年6月20日法国政府正式认可的“骨与关节十年”倡议，提供了通过国家网络以及国际伙伴关系（包括欧洲抗风湿病联盟）开展更协调行动的机会，最终改善患有MSC的人群的健康相关生活质量。
