Summary
Using a sample of 450,329 OEF/OIF Veterans who sought care at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals one to seven years after deployment, gender differences in the prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions in male and female OEF/OIF Veterans was explored. Results found that female Veterans had much high odds of several conditions compared to males in this sample, and these odds increased over time.
