Anterior knee pain is a common complaint amongst adolescents, which can both be persistent, and in some cases, disabling. This study investigated a series of potential risk factors potentially linked to the onset of anterior knee pain. Questionnaires were distributed amongst 367 10-15 years-olds enrolled in the local school board. These surveys included questions on sex, age, sport participation, and history of anterior knee pain verified by a physician. Bivariate correlations and a binomial logistic regression were conducted. Overall rate of AKP in the population studied was 7.4%. The results indicated that past history of knee pain, age, and increased sports participation significantly correlated with increased risk of AKP. AKP was significantly more common in females than males. While sex, height, age, overall sport participation, participation in specific sports, and history of knee injury all contributed to the binomial model.
前膝疼痛是青少年中常见的主诉，这种疼痛可能持续存在，在某些情况下还会导致残疾。本研究调查了一系列可能与前膝疼痛发作相关的潜在风险因素。对当地学校董事会登记的367名10至15岁的青少年进行了问卷调查。这些调查包括有关性别、年龄、体育活动参与情况以及经医生证实的前膝疼痛病史的问题。进行了双变量相关性分析和二项式逻辑回归分析。在所研究的人群中，前膝疼痛的总体发生率为7.4%。结果表明，既往膝关节疼痛史、年龄和体育活动参与度增加与前膝疼痛风险增加显著相关。前膝疼痛在女性中比男性更常见。虽然性别、身高、年龄、总体体育活动参与度、特定体育项目的参与度以及膝关节损伤史都对二项式模型有影响。
