Background And Aims: Multisite pain is a prevalent and significant issue among adolescents, often associated with adverse physical, psychological, and social outcomes. We aimed to (1) predict multisite pain incidence in the whole body and in the musculoskeletal sites in adolescents, and (2) explore the sex-specific predictors of multisite pain incidence using a novel machine learning (ML) approach (random forest, AdaBoost, and support vector classifier).
Methods: A 2-year longitudinal observational study (2013-2015) was conducted in a population-based sample of Finnish adolescents ( = 410, 57% girls, 12.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the progression of adult spinal deformity (ASD) over a decade, focusing on factors that affect spinal alignment.
- It involved analyzing full spine radiographs of 204 participants, showing a significant overall deterioration in spinal condition, with only 13% of participants experiencing improvement.
- Key predictors for changes in spinal alignment included low scores on self-assessment questionnaires related to function and severe pelvic tilt, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment approaches based on individual risk factors.
Objectives: Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is associated with an increased predisposition to adverse cardiac events. The accumulation of high-volume and high-intensity exercise over an extended duration potentially increases the risk of MF. Specific electrocardiographic markers have been correlated with the presence of MF.
