Abstract

Background: Myalgia is a common complaint among many workers, especially in the informal sector. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age and work duration with the incidence of myalgia in patients at Puskesmas Wates, Kota Mojokerto. Methods: This quantitative research collected data through questionnaires filled out by respondents. Data analysis was conducted using statistical tests to examine the relationship between variables. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between age and the incidence of myalgia with a p-value of 0.035, indicating that patients aged ≥45 years had a higher prevalence of myalgia, with 25 samples. Additionally, a higher incidence of myalgia was found among workers with a work duration of ≥20 years, with 21 respondents experiencing high myalgia and a p-value of 0.014. Patients aged ≥45 years had a 6.571 times greater risk of experiencing high myalgia compared to patients aged <45 years, while patients with a work duration of ≥20 years had an 11.667 times higher risk compared to those with a work duration of <20 years. Conclusions: These conclusions highlight the importance of paying special attention to age and work duration factors in efforts to prevent and manage myalgia among workers.

Abstract

AbstractBackground. Low back pain (LBP) is a common and significant problem in both clinical and public health settings. Although lower back pain (LBP) is common, a clear knowledge of its cause is still difficult to achieveMethods. Literature searching was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science using Search terms included "low back pain", "bipedal locomotion”, “quadrupedal locomotion” , “anthropological perspective”. Systematic reviews of peer-reviewed articles, reports, and case studies were chosen.Discussion. Bipedalism as a pivotal evolutionary development with profound impacts on human anatomy and biomechanics. While it conferred advantages for survival and adaptation, it also introduced challenges, particularly regarding spinal health. Insights from this review illuminate the evolutionary origins of locomotor patterns and inform approaches to addressing modern health issues, such as LBP, stemming from our unique upright posture.Conclusion. Bipedalism, a key feature of human development, brought about substantial alterations in the spinal column and musculoskeletal system, allowing for upright walking and the liberation of the hands for tool use. Nevertheless, these adjustments also made people more susceptible to lower back pain (LBP) as a result of the distinct pressures exerted on the spine. Keywords. low back pain, bipedal locomotion, quadrupedal locomotion, anthropological perspective
