Occupational cold exposure is associated with neck pain, low back pain, and lumbar radiculopathy

Albin Stjernbrandt et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between ambient cold exposure and musculoskeletal disorders. The survey results showed significant associations between high occupational cold exposure and neck pain, low back pain, and lumbar radiculopathy. Cold exposure should be recognized as a possible risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders in occupational health care settings.

Cold exposure and musculoskeletal conditions; A scoping review

Erlend Hoftun Farbu et al.

Summary: This scoping review identifies that cold exposure increases the risk of musculoskeletal conditions. However, there is a lack of consistent conclusions due to heterogeneity in factors considered and measurement methods. Future studies should better assess the temporality between cold exposure and outcomes, and use more accurate measures of exposure.

Incidence, remission, and persistence of Raynaud's phenomenon in the general population of northern Sweden: a prospective study

Albin Stjernbrandt et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the incidence, remission, and persistence of Raynaud's phenomenon in the general population of northern Sweden. The results showed that Raynaud's phenomenon is a common but variable condition, with symptoms possibly remitting over time. Men had a higher incidence proportion than women, and cold injury may be associated with the onset of Raynaud's phenomenon.
