Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in primary care patients in Malaysia, revealing that 18.8% of 1,074 surveyed individuals reported MSK complaints, predominantly in older adults.
- The knee was identified as the most common site of pain, with 52.2% of cases, and 20.3% of patients needing referrals for specialist care, indicating significant healthcare demand.
- Despite a median disability score suggesting mild impairment, the findings highlight a need for better training in managing MSK conditions at the primary care level to alleviate pressure on specialized services.
