一般住民における肩こりの疫学を調査し,その特徴およびQOLに与える影響を検討した.対象525人を肩こりあり群と肩こりなし群の2群に分け,年齢,性別,内科的合併症,他の疼痛部位,EuroQol(EQ-5D)について比較検討した.肩こりは51.0%に存在し,年齢に伴い頻度が低下していた.肩こりあり群は年齢が若く,女性の割合が多かった.また,肩・手関節といった上肢痛に加えて腰背部痛の合併が多く,QOLが低下している例が多かった.しかし,内科的疾患の合併に関しては,両群間で有意な差は認めなかった.
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of nonspecific neck pain in the general population and to investigate its characteristics. The subjects consisted of 525 people, including 193 males and 332 females with a mean age of 61.9 years. Their age, gender, medical complications, other sites of pain and the results of the EuroQoL (EQ-5D/VAS) questionnaire were also recorded. The prevalence of nonspecific neck pain was determined and a statistical analysis was conducted to compare those with and without nonspecific neck pain. The prevalence of nonspecific neck pain was 51.0% (268/525 subjects). The highest incidence was in subjects in their thirties and younger, and the incidence decreased with age. The subjects with nonspecific neck pain were most commonly female, with complaints in their back, lumbar and wrist. In addition, patients with nonspecific neck pain showed lower EuroQoL score, and no correlation was observed between the presence of nonspecific neck pain and medical complications.
