The incidence of musculoskeletal consultations in children with obesity in a primary care setting.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuMar 13 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, a group of researchers evaluated the incidence of musculoskeletal consultations in children with obesity in a primary care setting.
Earlier research suggested a link between being overweight and an increased risk of musculoskeletal issues in children, but the evidence was mostly cross-sectional and of moderate to low quality. Data sharing agreements facilitated the use of NCMP data from 2013/14 to 2018/19, alongside pseudonymized primary care data from the Discovery Data Service for 285 general practitioners .
Ethnicity, derived from NCMP records or, when missing, from electronic health records, and area-level deprivation were considered as confounding factors. Predominantly, these children hailed from the most deprived areas and were of Black or minority ethnic backgrounds, with a small fraction excluded due to missing ethnic data.
The most frequent musculoskeletal issues involved knee and back pain, with a higher prevalence of back pain reported in the Year 6 cohort compared to Reception children.
