Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is an increasing health problem in the western

society, and knowledge on the accumulation within families is still uncertain. The

main objective of this study was to investigate the association of CMP in the spinal

region between parents and their adult offspring, specifically in the neck, shoulder

and low back. Additionally the possible modifying role of physical activity (PA) on

this association was examined. Data from the population based HUNT study in

Norway provided 11247 subjects. Logistic regression was used to calculate the

adjusted odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results showed a

moderate increase in OR among all groups, maternal influence ranging from 1.36

(95%CI=1.27 – 1.46) to 1.44 (95% CI = 1.34 – 1.54), and paternal influence from

1.22 (95%CI=1.13 – 1.33) to 1.43 (95%CI=1.28 – 1.59). When stratified on offspring

PA a trend was observed showing inactive subjects with a slightly higher OR of back

pain than the active subjects, but this difference was not statistically significant. In

conclusion there appears to be an association between parental and offspring CMP in

the spinal region, and the modifying effect of PA is still uncertain.
