Abstract
Background/Objectives: Five musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including gout, low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis represent a growing public health burden; however, evidence from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) remains limited. This study aimed to assess the burden of these five MSDs across ten ASEAN countries.
