PENAS GARCIA, Carlos; GONZALEZ GONZALEZ, Yoana; ALONSO CALVETE, Alejandra and DA CUNA CARRERA, Iria. Risk factors for rotator cuff injury. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, pp.104-117. Epub May 10, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objetives:
To analyze the current scientific evidence about the risk factors of the rotator cuff injury.
Material and Methods:
A systematic search was carried out on February and march, 2020 with the MeSH terms “risk factors” and “rotator cuff injuries”. 17 studies were selected to be reviewed.
Results:
47% of studies analyzed the relationship between the rotator cuff injury and morphologic parameters of the joint, 24% of studies with diseases and 29% with lifestyle and Ambiental characteristics.
Conclusion:
Body mass index, dyslipaemia or tobacco use may increase the prevalence of rotator cuff injury as well as anatomical features or psychosocial and lifestyle aspects.
Keywords : rotator cuff injury; risk factors; musculoskeletal disease.
