Did you know that 1 in 8 people (12.1%) in England report living with at least two long-term conditions, one of which is MSK related? These findings are taken from The State of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health Report 2023: bit.ly/3r7xssB
White, bold text on a pink background that says, '1 in 8 people (12.1%) in England report living with at least two long-term conditions, one of which is MSK related' Above the text is a cartoon graphic of white skeletal hips, with purple outlining of hips and the top of legs (replicating an Xray). On the pelvis and right hip are red dots to portray pain spots. The cartoon graphic is in a circle.
