Abstract：
Introduction Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are one of the common health issues affecting people of various ages. The main risk factors for musculoskeletal pain are age, obesity, gender, level of education, psychosocial factors, occupational factors, decreased mobility and flexibility, and common factors such as consuming TV and video games. College students, especially medical students, are at a higher risk of these complaints as they have longer hours of studying than most faculties due to the competitiveness of their specialty. The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between musculoskeletal pain and studying hours in medical students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to increase awareness of this problem. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022. Data was collected using an online questionnaire. A total of 314 participants were included in this study. The demographic variables, studying hours, studying locations, and postures were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 314 medical students were included in this study. The majority were males (71.0%) and, the mean age was 22.05±2.13 years. Most of them were sixth-year students, and most of them reported studying between three and four hours (40.1%), with the most common studying location reported being the students\' home or residence (79.3%). The number of daily studying hours had no significant effect on the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems. Conclusion There was no significant relationship between the number of studying hours and the MSK pain. Clinical trials could be used to evaluate the most effective approaches to alleviate MSK pain in medical students.

介绍肌肉骨骼（MSK）疾病是影响不同年龄段人群的常见健康问题之一。肌肉骨骼疼痛的主要危险因素是年龄，肥胖，性别,教育水平,社会心理因素,职业因素,流动性和灵活性下降，以及消费电视和视频游戏等常见因素。大学生,尤其是医学生，这些投诉的风险更高，因为由于专业的竞争力，他们比大多数学院的学习时间更长。这项研究的目的是确定吉达医学生的肌肉骨骼疼痛与学习时间之间的关系，沙特阿拉伯,并提高对这个问题的认识。方法本横断面研究于2022年进行。使用在线问卷收集数据。共有314名参与者参加了这项研究。人口统计学变量，学习时间,研究地点,并对姿势进行了收集和分析。结果共纳入314名医学生。大多数是男性（71.0%），平均年龄为22.05±2.13岁。他们大多数是六年级学生，他们中的大多数报告说学习三到四个小时(40.1%)，据报道，最常见的学习地点是学生的家或住所(79.3%)。每日学习小时数对肌肉骨骼问题的发生没有显着影响。结论研究小时数与MSK疼痛之间没有显着关系。临床试验可用于评估缓解医学生MSK疼痛的最有效方法。
