| Abstract;[Purpose] We conducted a survery of high school students in order to determine the cause of and background factors related to Katakori (a mixed sensation of stiffness, dullness or dull pain around the scapula and neck) in young people. [Materials and methods] The subjects were all students of the same high school. The total number of students enrolled at the school was 894. The survey was conducted by questionnaire. [Results] Of the total number of students, 45.8% suffered from Katakori. The percentage of females who suffered from Katakori (56.8%) was higher than that of males (37.9%). More than half of the students first experienced Katakori when they were studying for the high school entrance examination in their last year of junior high school (28.6% at 14 years of age and 24.9% at 15 years of age). The incidence of Katakori among students who felt stress in daily life was 61.9%, which was much higher than the incidence of Katakori among students who felt no stress in daily life (37.0%). The incidence of Katakori among students in whom spinal deformity had been pointed out by a doctor was 60.3%. The incidence of Katakori was lower in students who regularly played a sport (38.6%) than in those who did not regularly play a sport (48.7%). The incidence of Katakori also showed a tendency to increase as the number of hours spent studying at home increased. [Conclusion] The results of this survey revealed that a percentage of young people have subjective symptoms of Katakori. The incidence of Katakori was also high among students who felt stress in daily life. These findings suggest that stress plays a significant role in the onset of Katakori. The results also indicated that spinal deformity, hours of sheep, house of study, sports activity, and history of whiplash injury are factors affecting the incidencs of Katakori. (author abst.) |
