Musculoskeletal disorders are health conditions that are highly neglected in the country. They are among the most prevalent chronic diseases that can affect a wide range of age groups globally, but little attention is given to them in terms of early diagnosis and treatment. Despite living with them and their disability, many people with these diseases look well. The purpose of the study was therefore, to determine the socio-demographic variables associated with prevalence of common musculoskeletal disorders among rheumatology patients in Imo State from 2016 to 2022. The target population consisted of 1697 case files of rheumatology patients. Three research questions postulated were answered using percentages, and charts/three hypotheses that were stated were tested using chi-square statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study among others showed that 7697 patients were living with musculosketal disorders from 2016 to 2022.The prevalence of common musculoskeletal disorders was high in Imo State over the five years period. These data revealed that osteoarthritis (OA) showed the highest prevalence of 41 percent, followed by rheumatoid arthritis, 34.3 percent; Gout. 9.2 percent; psoriatic arthritis 8.8 percent and juvine ideopathetic arthritis 6.6 percent, recorded the lowest prevalence. Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among rheumatology patients differed significantly in Imo State based on years (p <0.05). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of common musculoskeletal disorders of patients in Imo State in relation to their occupation (p <0.05). The finding also showed that there was no significant difference in the prevalence of common musculoskeletal disorders of patients in Imo State in relation to their educational qualification (p 0.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that there should be intensive sanitization program for the public by the government through mass media platforms on the prevalence of common musculoskeletal disorders and improve the working environment of public servants. Government should organize and sponsor periodic medical checkups for people and public servants for early detection of common musculoskeletal disorders since the prevalence of the disease was high among them.
