PREVALENCE OF MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES IN THE STUDENT POPULATION

Summary/Abstract: The human organism is destined for physical activity. However, technological development and lifestyles have influenced a significant reduction in physical activities, which consequently leads to signs of decline in the functions of certain organic systems. Musculoskeletal system disorders are considered to be damage to the musculoskeletal tissue or damage to the neurological system that disrupts the harmony of these systems. The start of studies is a big change in the life of young people. The start of studies is a big change in the life of young people. Changes in social and financial status can affect students' eating and physical activity behavior and lead to various diseases. By reviewing the database of scientific literature, the connection between musculoskeletal disorders and the lifestyle of the student population was investigated. Research material and methods: The paper presents a review of professional literature, various databases from journals, scientific research and scientific papers, and professional papers obtained by searching online databases: Medline, PabMed, Google Scholar, Scinece hub. All those studies that met certain criteria included: (1) students of both sexes older than 18 years; (2) quality of life; (3) musculoskeletal disorders in the student population. Professional studies and undated papers were excluded. Based on the collected data from the database, a review of the scientific literature was compiled. Results: Through a scientific review of the literature, the results on the importance of the quality of life of the student population related to musculoskeletal disorders were investigated. The keywords used for the search are: student population, musculoskeletal disorders, lifestyles. The period of the reviewed scientific literature is from 2019 to 2023. Out of a total of 4,500 works from 4 databases, which we obtained based on keywords, only those works related to musculoskeletal disorders and quality of life among the student population were taken into account. Based on that, only 317 papers that had a correlation with the research interest were included in the further processing, 66 papers were processed and read in detail, and only 7 papers satisfied the 3 criteria set for implementation in this review article. Conclusion: Studying as a special period of life brings with it a series of changes and potential problems. Factors of the modern life of the student population promote an increase in excessive body weight, insufficient physical activity, fast refined food, insufficient amounts of sleep, and numerous stressful situations, which significantly affect the health of this population.
