This prospective study of 583 habitual runners used baseline information to examine the relationship of several suspected risk factors to the occurrence of running-related injuries of the lower extremities that were severe enough to affect running habits, cause a visit to a health professional, or require use of medication. During the 12-month follow-up period, 252 men (52%) and 48 women (49%) reported at least one such injury. The multiple logistic regression results identified that running 64.0 km (40 miles) or more per week was the most important predictor of injury for men during the follow-up period (odds ratio = 2.9). Risk also was associated with having had a previous injury in the past year (odds ratio = 2.7) and with having been a runner for less than 3 years (odds ratio = 2.2). These results suggest that the incidence of lower-extremity injuries is high for habitual runners, and that for those new to running or those who have been previously injured, reducing weekly distance is a reasonable preventive behavior.
这项针对583名习惯性跑步者的前瞻性研究利用基线信息，来探究几种疑似风险因素与下肢跑步相关损伤发生之间的关系，这些损伤严重到足以影响跑步习惯、促使人们去看医疗专业人员或需要使用药物治疗。在12个月的随访期内，252名男性（52%）和48名女性（49%）报告了至少一次此类损伤。多元逻辑回归结果表明，在随访期内，每周跑步64.0公里（40英里）或更多是男性受伤的最重要预测因素（比值比 = 2.9）。风险还与过去一年曾有过受伤经历（比值比 = 2.7）以及跑步时间少于3年（比值比 = 2.2）有关。这些结果表明，习惯性跑步者下肢损伤的发生率很高，对于那些刚开始跑步的人或曾受过伤的人来说，减少每周跑步距离是一种合理的预防措施。
