Musculoskeletal health: trends, risk factors and disparities in England, November 2022

Details

This report provides data to expand awareness of disparities in musculoskeletal health at a national level. The report supplements OHID’s musculoskeletal conditions profile, which provides local data on musculoskeletal prevalence and risk factors to enable commissioners, and other stakeholders, to understand the unique health needs of local populations.

This first release focuses on the prevalence of longterm musculoskeletal conditions across the population while further topics, such as the impact of musculoskeletal conditions on employment, will be added to future releases. Data included in this current release will be updated as new data becomes available.
