Despite this, few studies investigate the prevalence and risk factors of injuries. This study aimed to analyze injury prevalence and distribution across body regions in Brazilian triathletes, and to identify predictive factors associated with injury development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A cross-sectional study was conducted with 758 Brazilian triathletes through an online form. Data collected included sociodemographic and anthropometric information, sports participation duration, injuries in the past 12 months, and number of competitions. Descriptive statistics were applied, with group comparisons using t-test, Mann-Whitney, or Chi-square tests. Binary logistic regression identified injury predictors, with variables (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.20) entered into multiple regression via forward selection.
