Brief Summary

Neck pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in Norway among older adolescents and young adults. Despite this, little research exist on risk factors for neck pain in the transitional life phase from adolescence to young adulthood. In this prospective cohort study, already collected data from The Nord-Trøndelag Health study, Young HUNT 3 and HUNT 4 will be used to investigate possible risk factors and risk profiles developed in adolescence.
