Opportunities for prevention of 'clinically significant' knee pain: results from a population-based cross sectional survey.

Background: There is little UK-based evidence on the prevalence and predictors of knee pain associated with disability across all adult ages. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of 'clinically significant' knee pain, identify and assess the population impact of independent risk factors, and estimate levels of healthcare need.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of three general practice populations was conducted.

Prevalence and predictors of intense, chronic, and disabling neck and back pain in the UK general population.

Study Design: Multiphase cross-sectional survey of musculoskeletal pain.

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of all reported and clinically significant spinal pain. To identify independent predictors of spinal pain.
