dc.description.abstractBackground: Research into health-related quality of life (HRQOL) can provide information about factors that influence health. Pain can affect adolescents HRQOL and is a major challenge for public health. Physical activity has positive effects on HRQOL, however many studies show that adolescents are in too little physical activity. Aim: The aim was to gain more knowledge about pain, physical activity and HRQOL in adolescents. Furthermore, to study associations between pain and HRQOL and between physical activity and HRQOL. Method: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study based on a purposive sample of students in the first year of high school. The sample consisted of 88 students, 16- 17 years, the response rate was 67.4. In order to assess HRQOL, pain and physical activity, we used selfreport instruments: KIDSCREEN-10, Lubeck pain-screening questionnaire and parts of the questionnaire used in the project Aktiv Ungdom med Overskudd(AUO). Results: Many adolescents reported pain(70.5 %), where the girls had significantly more pain than boys. Sleep problems, use of pain medication and absence from school because of pain is common. More than half of the respondents is in less physical activity than the national recommendations. There is significant association between HRQOL and pain frequency. Conclusion: Pain is a common problem among adolescents, and is associated with lower HRQOL. Many adolescents are not in enough physical activity. In the work of health promotion, it will be important to prevent pain problems to promote adolescent HRQOL.
