| description | BackgroundGlobally, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health, causing functional disability among those affected. Among the common diabetes mellitus-related complications, musculoskeletal disorders had a significant negative impact on the social health quality of life and productivity of individuals. Evidence in this regard, however, is scarce in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and identifying factors associated in people with diabetes in Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, northwest Ethiopia.MethodsA cross-sectional study design was employed at Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from June 01 to August 30, 2020, among 413 participants. A systematic random sampling was employed to select the study participants. A structured, pretested questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic, clinical, and lifestyle characteristics. Musculoskeletal disorders were assessed through clinical and physical examination. A logistic regression model was used to explore factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders.ResultThe prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among diabetes mellitus patients was 24% (95% CI 20, 28.3). In logistic regression, factors such as being female, older age, occupation (farmer, merchant, and retired), and long duration of diabetes were significantly associated with musculoskeletal disorders.ConclusionNearly one quarter of the study participants had musculoskeletal disorders. Special attention should be given for those individuals living with diabetes mellitus, particularly for those who are female, are older, and had a prolonged history of diabetes mellitus. |
