Brief Summary

Most studies investigating the risk factors related with musculoskeletal pain have been conducted in European countries and North America, and because of the difference in health, economic, and social systems, their results are not generalizable to countries such as Turkey. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the individual and work-related risk factors linked to musculoskeletal pain among Turkish office workers.

At the end of the NMQ, the participants are encountered by the question of "Do you have any pain related to the musculoskeletal system? and Which region is the most painful?" Surveys of participants who do not feel any pain due to the musculoskeletal system were completed.
