Musculoskeletal pain as a predictor for depression in the general working population of Denmark To conclude, we found strong and consistent longitudinal associations between MSD and indicators of depression (redeemed prescriptions for antidepressants and psychiatric hospital treatment for depressive mood disorders) in two separate cohorts from the Danish workforce. These findings suggest that musculoskeletal pain is an important predictor of depression, which should be considered in future studies on the aetiology of depression.
