Physiological Perspective of Musculoskeletal Disorders among Older Peoples in Bangladesh
By Jahan S, Islam MR, Rahman T et al.
Abstract Musculoskeletal disorders are debilitating conditions that significantly impact on the state of health, especially in elderly people. The study, which employed a cross-sectional design and practical sampling, included 206 participants from all over Bangladesh with musculoskeletal issues of varying severity and impact. The study was carried out between January and June of 2022. The majority of them experienced musculoskeletal pain. It was also common to have limited mobility as a result of arthritic change, which eventually affected daily activities like taking care of oneself. To improve the health of the elderly female population, more study must be conducted to identify the many factors that contribute to musculoskeletal issues. The development of effective prevention and rehabilitation programs must then be based on this knowledge.
