SummaryThe first overview papers on the NAKO baseline examination (NAKO-379, Schmidt et al. “ Frequencies of musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders in the population-based German National Cohort (GNC)” Bundesgesundheitsbl 2020, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00103-020-03110-1; NAKO-635, Peters et al. “Framework and Baseline Examination of the German National Cohort (NAKO)” EJEP 2022, doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10654-022-00890-5) served to describe the study methods, procedures the NAKO baseline examination in general and the and frequencies of musculoskeletal symptoms. The proposed project aims to describe the potential relation between inflammatory alterations of the musculoskeletal system and morphological properties of the skeletal muscle.
