Musculoskeletal disorders in women of childbearing age: global trends, socio-demographic disparities, and future projections
The burden of MSK disorders among WCBA is already substantial and is expected to increase further in the future. Despite the observed decline in age-standardized incidence rate of MSK disorders among WCBA in half of the regions and countries globally, the age-standardized prevalence and DALYs rates have shown an adverse increasing trend. By 2045, the global number of DALYs for MSK disorders in WCBA is projected to exceed 48 million. To mitigate the future burden of MSK disorders in WCBA, stratified and targeted healthcare strategies are essential to improve early diagnosis and treatment.
