Özet
Aim: The objective is to examine the relationship between the musculoskeletal system (MSS)-based disability and the body mass index (BMI). Material and Method: The medical board reports (MBR) issued for patients in 2010, who applied for a disability report, were screened. From a total of 283 MBR’s, 99 disability reports were included. BMI was calculated and the relationship between disability ratios and BMI was examined. Findings: Out of the 99 patients, 77 were male and 22 were female. The mean age was 46.7±17.8, the BMI was 25.5±5.7 kg/m², the total disability ratio (TDR) was 46±24% and the MSS disability ratio was 33±23%. Both the BMI and age of the patient were significantly correlated with TDR values (p<0.05). The female mean age, the TDR, MSS disability ratio and BMI were higher compared to males. However, only the TDR was statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). 46% of the disability reports were due to acquired diseases (most commonly caused by arthrosis), 37% injuries (most frequently falls, work accidents and firearm injuries) and 11% were for congenital diseases. It was determined that the most patients, had applied to The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the most affected region was the lower extremities. Conclusion: It was identified that the increase in BMI may have an increasing effect on the disability ratios as well as the positive effect of disability on BMI. This fact should be taken into consideration when the ratio of disability is calculated in health board reports
