  • The pain-comorbidity links: A cross-sectional analysis of musculoskeletal burden in Saudi older adults

    Open Access•Hammad S Alhasan, Mansour Abdullah Alshehri et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2026

    Background Musculoskeletal pain and noncommunicable diseases are major contributors to disability among adults aged ≥50 years, yet their coexistence and modifying factors are not well characterized in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to estimate age-group–specific prevalence of musculoskeletal pain, identify independent predictors of site-specific and multisite pain and of major morbidities, and evaluate effect modification among adults ≥50 years. …

It included 24,012 households representing the Saudi population across all 13 administ…

  • Fatigue and Cognitive Decline Associated With Depressive Symptoms Among Community-Dwelling Adults

    Open Access•Noura R Almegbas, Gamar R Almutairi et al.•ARTICLE•INQUIRY The Journal of Health…•2023

    To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in community-dwelling Saudi adults aged ≥50 years and the associated risk factors. Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was dichotomized as depressive symptoms when the participants scored ≥10. Risk factors included age, sex, body mass index, education, employment, marital status, number of chronic diseases and medications, fatigue severity scale (FSS), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA…

  • Mechanical and Morphological Changes of the Plantar Flexor Musculotendinous Unit in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Following 12 Weeks of Plyometric Exercise: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    Open Access•Ragab K Elnaggar, Mohammed S Alghamdi et al.•ARTICLE•Children•2022

    To investigate how plyometric exercise (PLYO-Ex) affects mechanics and morphometrics of the plantar flexor musculotendinous unit in children with unilateral cerebral palsy, 38 participants (aged 10-16 years) were allocated at random to either the PLYO-Ex group ( n = 19; received 24 sessions of plyometric muscle loading, conducted 2 times a week for 3 months in succession) or the control group ( n = 19; underwent traditional physical therapy for t…

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of low back pain in Saudi Arabian adolescents. This cross-sectional study was conducted among Saudi Arabian high school students, which included demographic data, medical and low back pain history. The compl…

  • Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Low Back Pain in the Saudi Adult Community: A Cross-Sectional Study

    Open Access•Ahmed Alhowimel, Ahmed S Alhowimel et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Worldwide, low back pain is common and linked with many risk factors. There is a lack of studies in the Saudi Arabian community on low back pain prevalence and risk factors. Therefore, the present research will investigate the prevalence of low back pain in the middle-aged and elderly community population and examine the risk factors contributing to low back pain in Saudi Arabia. The present paper is a cross-sectional study of the community livin…

  • Gait Speed as a Predictor for Diabetes Incidence in People with or at Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Longitudinal Analysis from the Osteoarthritis Initiative

    Open Access•Aqeel M Alenazi, Bader A Alqahtani et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Baseline gait speed could be an important screening tool for identifying people at risk of incident diabetes, and the determined cutoff value for gait speed should be examined in future research

  • Associations between social determinants and the presence of chronic diseases: Data from the osteoarthritis Initiative

    Open Access•Vishal Vennu, Tariq A Abdulrahman et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2020

    Social determinants are associated with the presence of chronic diseases. Some of the social determinants are modifiable or treatable. Thus, these findings can inform public health strategies in the United States
