Musculoskeletal problems and associated risk factors among health science students in Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Background Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability. High prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among medical and other health science students has been reported globally. However, little is known about the magnitude of the problem in Ethiopia among medical and health science students. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and identify the associated risk factors of MSDs among medical and health science students in Ethiopia.
