Brief Summary

This study aims to assess whether there is an association between students' lifestyle behaviour, in terms of physical activity level, sleep duration, smoking status, alcohol consumption and use of cannabis and other illegal drugs, and later health care utilisation due to musculoskeletal pain. The study will combine data from a national survey in Norway (SHOT2018), in which all full-time university students in Norway were invited, with data from a register on health care utilisation in primary health care.
