Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

\[Purpose\] To investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among healthy students of Ahlia University and to determine the relationship between the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and academic stressors and body mass index. \[Subjects and Methods\]: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 94 students aged 18-26 years who were enrolled at various Ahlia University colleges and met other inclusion criteria. The students responded to the standardized Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and the modified College Student Stress Inventory regarding musculoskeletal symptoms and academic stressors. Height and weight measurements were also obtained to determine body mass index.
