The aim of this prospective cohort study was to explore possible predictors of MSCs in women and men free of MSCs at baseline. Methods: The present study included participants from the population-based Tromsø study, with baseline data from 1994–1995 and follow-up data from 2007–2008. MSCs were defined as having pain and/or stiffness in muscles and joints for 3 consecutive months during the past year. Predictors of MSCs were examined through binary logistic regression analyses and presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results: At baseline 4,496 participants reported no MSCs and among these 2,015 (44.8%) and 441 (9.8%) participants reported mild or severe MSCs, respectively, at follow-up. Female gender predicted MSCs in multivariable logistic regression analyses (odds ratio [OR] 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–1.66). Educational level of primary/secondary school (OR 1.73, 95% CI: 1.46–2.05) was the strongest predictor of MSCs, followed by poor self-perceived health (OR 1.62, 95% CI: 1.30–2.02). Other predictors were BMI 30 kg/m 2 (OR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.10–1.77) and smoking (OR 1.33, 95% CI: 1.16–1.52). Age and physical activity level were not significantly associated with MSCs. Gender-stratified analyses revealed that mental health complaints (i.e., depression and/or anxiety) predicted MSCs in men (OR 2.03, 95% CI: 1.18–3.50), but not in women. Current smoking (OR 1.43, 95%CI: 1.16–1.76) and poor self-perceived health (OR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.34–2.71) showed slightly higher odds ratios among women than men, but the gender differences were not significant. Conclusion: The present study demonstrate s that several negative health determinants are predicting subsequent MSCs. However, the examined risk factors could not explain the higher prevalence of MSCs in women.
