This cross-sectional postal survey explores the relationship between musculoskeletal painand level of education in Ullensaker municipality. We used a Standard Nordic Questionnaire(SNQ) to register self-reported musculoskeletal pain in 3325 persons in 2004 (participationrate 55 %). We registered educational level and a series of other demographic and life-stylevariables as well as functional ability and subjective health complaints. We found in thisstudy that educational level and musculoskeletal pain is associated. People with loweducational levels are prone to have more musculoskeletal pain than persons with highereducation. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain that is limiting persons in their daily tasksthe difference is even larger between persons with low educational level and persons withhigher education / I en postal tverrsnittstudie har vi undersøkt forholdet mellom muskelsmerter ogutdanningsnivå i Ullensaker kommune. Vi brukte et standardisert spørreskjema ommuskelsmerter (også kalt Ørebro-skjemaet) og fikk svar fra 3325 personer (svarprosent55%). Vi registrerte utdanningsnivå og en rekke andre demografiske- og livsstilsvariablesamt funksjonsevne og subjektive helseplager. Vi fant i denne studien ensammenheng mellom utdanningsnivå og muskelsmerter. Personer med lavtutdanningsnivå har mer muskelsmerter enn personer med høyere utdanning. Når detgjelder å bli hindret i sine daglige aktiviteter av smertene er forskjellene enda størremellom de med lav utdanning og de med høy utdanning / <p>ISBN 978-91-85721-43-6</p>
