Description
El-Setouhy and a large team in Saudi Arabia surveyed in 2026 aches among staff at Jazan University, and what ties to them. Desk work with poor desk setups and poor sleep are known strain loads. The team gave 460 staff three set forms: one on body aches, one that scored each desk setup, and one that graded sleep. Staff came from all parts of the school, picked by a staged draw.
Aches were the norm, not the rare case. Low back and neck pain each struck about two in three staff. Seats, hips, and knees hurt the fewest. Poor sleep stood on its own as a tie to neck, upper back, and knee pain. Poor desk setups tied to aches in most zones as well. The authors urge desk fixes and sleep health drives on campus, with long term checks to prove the gains.
