Resumen
SEOANE-MATO, Daniel et al. Frequency of medical visits due to osteoarticular problems of the adult general population in Spain. EPISER2016 Study. Gac Sanit [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.5, pp.514-517. Epub 15-Feb-2021. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2019.05.006.
Objective
To estimate the prevalence of medical visits due to osteoarticular problems by the adult general population in Spain and its association with sociodemographic, anthropometric and lifestyle variables.
Method
Cross-sectional population-based study. Sample with 4916 subjects aged 20 years and over. A telephone questionnaire, with a question about medical visits due to osteoarticular problems, was used. To estimate the prevalence and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI), weights were calculated according to the probability of selection in each of the sampling stages.
Results
28.9% (95%CI: 27.6-30.2) of the people reported having consulted a doctor in the last year because of osteoarticular problems. We observed an association with age, sex, level of education, and body mass index.
