Background: Deficiency of vitamin D has been reported with many types of musculoskeletal pain. The present study was designed to determine the association between vitamin D deficiency and musculoskeletal pain.
Methods: This study is based on data from 2013-2014, first and second year of the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 15,568 persons participated in surbey. In total, 1,352 participants were enrolled in our analyses. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance, Tukey’s test were used for group comparison (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis with calculation of adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were performed to determine associations.
Results: There is no statistically significant correlation between vitamin D and back, hip, and knee pain. The age group over 70 years has 2.226 times higher probability of having back pain than that of 50-59 years (P<0.05). The presence of depression in patients is associated with a statistically significant higher probability of having back pain by a factor of 2.143 (P<0.01). Patients with a previous smoking history have 2.135 time higher probability of reporting back pain than non-smokers. Each increase of 1 on patient’s body mass index (BMI) is associated with a 1.058 fold increase in having a knee pain (P<0.05).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that although there was no clear association between vitamin D denificiency and musculoskeletal pain, there was a statistically significant correlation between musculoskeletal pain and other factors, such as age, gender, smoking history, depression and patient’s BMI.
