The prevalence of\n WMSDs<\/jats:styled-content>\n in at least one body part over the past 12\u2009months was 82%. The most affected areas were the neck (68%) and lower back (64%). Neck pain showed a moderate correlation with prolonged sitting and a weak correlation with electronic device usage. Significant risk factors identified for reported\n WMSDs<\/jats:styled-content>\n included prolonged sitting (odds ratio (\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n )\u2009=\u20094.56, 95% confidence interval (\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n ): 2.172\u20139.609,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), clinical practice time (\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2009=\u20093.11, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n : 1.495\u20136.469,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.002) and female gender (\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2009=\u20093.42: 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n : 1.705\u20136.851,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.001). Interestingly, regular physical activity significantly reduced the odds of\n WMSDs<\/jats:styled-content>\n (\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2009=\u20090.316, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n : 0.128\u20130.780,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.012). Additionally, mobility exercises decreased the likelihood of\n WMSDs<\/jats:styled-content>\n (\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2009=\u20090.252, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n : 0.101\u20130.626,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.003).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n The high prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort observed in this study reflects that\n WMSDs<\/jats:styled-content>\n present a substantial health burden for dental students. This underlines the urgent need for effective educational strategies to improve dental students' awareness and knowledge of ergonomic practices and preventive measures for reducing these disorders.\n
