Published version available in PLoS ONE 12(7): e0181417. This thesis used data from the large-scale population-based Tromsø Study. More than 45,000 inhabitants of the municipality of Tromsø participated in at least one of the seven surveys conducted between 1974 and 2016 (Tromsø 1-7). In the papers constituting this thesis, musculoskeletal complaints (MSCs) were defined as having pain and/or stiffness in muscles and joints lasting for at least 3 months the previous year. In the Tromsø 6 survey (2007/08), 8,439 (42.7%) of the 19,762 invitees provided a complete questionnaire on MSCs and were included in the analyses. In Paper I, which employed a cross-sectional study design and utilised data from the Tromsø 6 survey, 15.8% (women: 19.4%, men: 12.1%) of participants reported severe MSCs at one or more of the six body regions specified in the questionnaire. More than half of the 8,439 participants reported at least one MSC. Among those, nearly three-quarters reported MSCs in more than two body regions, which is in accordance with previous research. Hence, it is more common to report at least one MSC than no MSCs at all. Participants who reported MSCs were more likely to report coexisting negative health factors than participants without MSCs. Paper II had a prospective study design and investigated risk factors for MSCs utilising data from both the Tromsø 4 (1994/95) and Tromsø 6 surveys. Several of the associations revealed in Paper I showed evidence of temporality (i.e. a predictor present before the end-point) in Paper II, which is one of several criteria of causality. In accordance with previous research, poor self-reported general health status, tobacco smoking, and low educational level were predictors of MSCs. Physical inactivity did not predict subsequent ...
