Musculoskeletal symptoms, reported as pain or discomfort, are a major health problem worldwide, and can affect a single region of the body or several regions. The objectives of the study were to verify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in multiregion (2≥ regions) in the last 12 months and in the last 7 days in a population-based sample of adults aged 20 years and older and to analyze the associations with demographic, socioeconomic, work-related variables, electronic devices, smoking, physical activity and referred morbidity. A population survey was carried out through a two-stage complex sampling. 600 individuals from the urban area of Bauru, São Paulo, were interviewed by means of questionnaires: 1. Characterization of the participants (demographic, socioeconomic aspects); 2. Musculoskeletal symptoms through the Nordic questionnaire; 3. Aspects related to work and electronic devices; 4. Smoking 5. Physical activity level through the IPAQ; 6. Diseases reported. Absolute and relative frequency distributions were performed for categorical variables. In order to analyze the variables associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in multiregion, in the last 12 months and in the last 7 days, Poisson regression was used, respecting a hierarchical model of relations between the variables. The prevalences were 46.5% (CI 42.5 to 50.5) in the last 12 months and 26.1% (CI 22.8 to 29.8) in the last 7 days, with a statistically significant difference between the sexes (p <0.0001). Adjusted analyzes showed that those who watched TV more than 3 times a week and worked in a sitting position were associated with symptoms in the last 12 months. Already in the last 7 days, those with 60 or more, low income and worked in the seated posture lifting weight and standing tilting the body were associated. However, the female sex and who reported having two or more diseases reported remained associated in both (12 months and 7 days). A study shows that musculoskeletal symptoms in multiregion have a high prevalence and were associated with demographic, socioeconomic, work-related, electronic devices, smoking and referred morbidity.
