TLDR
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints and rheumatic diseases in southeast of Iran.Abstract:

The people with musculoskeletal complaints (pain, stiffness and swelling) wereexamined by the rheumatologist. Laboratory tests and radiographic exams were carried out when necessary tofurther categorize diagnoses.Results: Data were collected from October 10, 2008 to September 15, 2009. Two thousand and one hundredsubjects including 921 (43.9%) males and 1179 (56.1%) females were interviewed. The average age of the popu-lation was 33.1 14.7 years. The prevalence of complaints within the past 7 days prior to the interview was54.13%. The most common sites of complaint were as follows: knee (30.59%), dorsolumbar (28.83%), shoulder(22.26%) and neck (17.07%). The most common rheumatic diseases were osteoarthritis and low back pain withthe prevalence of 18.66% and 17.71%, respectively. Finally, the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis was 0.98%.Conclusion: Musculoskeletal complaints are highly common in southeast Iran. Knee and low back pain werethe most common sites of complaints.
