Background As obese people frequently experience persistent musculoskeletal pain (MSP), understanding the relationship between obesity and pain may help develop therapeutic and preventative approaches to treat discomfort from MSP. MSP can negatively impact such individuals' quality of life and their ability to perform daily tasks. Therefore, more thorough investigations are required to fully understand the connection between obesity and MSP. Aims To assess the relationship between musculoskeletal pain(MSP) and body mass index (BMI) among women in the age group of 25 to 65 years. Methods From July to December 2022, a cross-sectional study among women between the ages of 25 and 65 was carried out near the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC) of a medical college in the Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh, India. In total, 443 women took part in the study. BMI was computed, weight and height were recorded, and MSP at any site (i.e., neck, shoulders, upper back, upper arms, lower back, forearms, wrists, hip/buttocks, thighs, knees, lower legs, and ankles) was noted. The data were analyzed through correspondence analysis. Results Of the 443 women that participated in the study, 224 (50.6%) had MSP, and 9.3% and 28.2% were obese or overweight, respectively. Obese and overweight women were found to be at a higher risk of upper and lower back pain. Conclusion In our study, a significant relationship between MSP and BMI was confirmed and visualized by correspondence analysis.
背景 由于肥胖者经常经历持续性肌肉骨骼疼痛（MSP），了解肥胖与疼痛之间的关系可能有助于制定治疗和预防方法，以治疗MSP引起的不适。MSP会对这些人的生活质量及其执行日常任务的能力产生负面影响。因此，需要更深入的调查来全面了解肥胖与MSP之间的联系。目的 评估25至65岁女性中肌肉骨骼疼痛（MSP）与体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。方法 2022年7月至12月，在印度北方邦勒克瑙区一所医学院的农村卫生培训中心（RHTC）附近，对25至65岁的女性进行了一项横断面研究。共有443名女性参与了该研究。计算BMI，记录体重和身高，并记录任何部位（即颈部、肩部、上背部、上臂、下背部、前臂、手腕、臀部/臀部、大腿、膝盖、小腿和脚踝）的MSP。通过对应分析对数据进行分析。结果 在参与研究的443名女性中，224名（50.6%）患有MSP，肥胖或超重的分别占9.3%和28.2%。发现肥胖和超重女性患上下背部疼痛的风险更高。结论 在我们的研究中，通过对应分析证实并直观显示了MSP与BMI之间的显著关系。
