Data_Sheet_1_Burden of musculoskeletal disorders in the gulf cooperation council countries, 1990–2019: Findings from the global burden of disease study 2019.PDF

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) health conditions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data.MethodsThe data for GCC countries were obtained from the 2019 GBD study to evaluate the burden of MSK disorders which include the following countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The main outcome measures were age-standardized prevalence and years of life lived with disability (YLDs) associated with MSK disorders. The burden of MSK disorders attributable to the category of behavioral, metabolic, or environmental/occupational was reported to estimate the risk-attributable fractions of disease.ResultsMSK disorders prevalence ranked fifth in Kuwait, sixth in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and UAE, and seventh in Saudi Arabia among all the diseases in 2019. For all GCC countries, MSK disorders were ranked the second leading cause of disability as measured by YLDs for the years 1990 and 2019. The age-standardized prevalence of MSK disorders in 2019 for Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE was 18.56% (95% UI: 17.51–19.66), 19.35% (18.25–20.52), 18.23% (17.14–19.36), 18.93% (17.81–20.06), 19.05% (17.96–20.22), and 18.26% (17.18–19.38), respectively. The age-standardized YLDs per 100,000 individuals of MSK disorders in 2019 for Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE were 1,734 (1,250–2,285), 1,764 (1,272–2,322), 1,710 (1,224–2,256), 1,721 (1,246–2,274), 1,681 (1,207–2,235), and 1,715 (1,230–2,274), respectively. For risk factors, high body mass index (BMI) had the highest contribution to MSK disorders YLDs in most GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia), followed by the exposure to occupational ergonomic factors which had the highest contribution to MSK disorders YLDs in Qatar and UAE.ConclusionThere was an increase in both age-standardized prevalence of MSK disorders and YLDs between 1990 and 2019 that was observed for all GCC countries. Some risk factors such as higher BMI and exposure to occupational ergonomic factors were highly associated with YLDs due to MSK disorders. The results of this study provide guidance for the potential nature of preventative and management programs to optimize the individual’s health.

研究目的本研究旨在基于全球疾病负担（GBD）数据，探讨海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家骨骼肌肉（MSK）健康问题的负担。研究方法GCC国家的数据来源于2019年GBD研究，用以评估包括巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）在内的MSK疾病的负担。主要结局指标为与MSK疾病相关的年龄标准化患病率和伤残寿命年（YLDs）。根据行为、代谢或环境/职业类别报告了MSK疾病的负担，以估计疾病风险归因分数。研究结果2019年，在所有疾病中，MSK疾病的患病率在科威特排名第五，在巴林、阿曼、卡塔尔和UAE排名第六，在沙特阿拉伯排名第七。对于所有GCC国家，MSK疾病按YLDs衡量，在1990年和2019年均位居残疾的第二大原因。2019年，巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和UAE的MSK疾病年龄标准化患病率分别为18.56%（95% UI：17.51–19.66）、19.35%（18.25–20.52）、18.23%（17.14–19.36）、18.93%（17.81–20.06）、19.05%（17.96–20.22）和18.26%（17.18–19.38）。2019年，巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和UAE每10万人MSK疾病的年龄标准化YLDs分别为1,734（1,250–2,285）、1,764（1,272–2,322）、1,710（1,224–2,256）、1,721（1,246–2,274）、1,681（1,207–2,235）和1,715（1,230–2,274）。对于风险因素，高体重指数（BMI）在大多数GCC国家（巴林、科威特、阿曼和沙特阿拉伯）对MSK疾病YLDs的贡献最高，其次是职业工效学因素，其在卡塔尔和UAE对MSK疾病YLDs的贡献最高。结论在1990年至2019年期间，所有GCC国家的MSK疾病年龄标准化患病率和YLDs均呈上升趋势。一些风险因素，如较高的BMI和职业工效学因素的暴露，与MSK疾病的YLDs高度相关。本研究结果为预防和管理工作计划提供了指导，以优化个体健康。
