Subject: Musculo-skeletal problems such as arthritis survey (Over 50's only )

Hi all
I'm doing a survey for my year 12 Human Biology assignment and I need some people who fit my 'target audience' range to answer some questions. The survey is about the occurrence of musculoskeletal conditions in people who played sport when younger .
The criteria to answer the questions is you must be over 50 and played some competitive sport or a large amount of sport when younger i.e. ) 30 yrs and under.
I also need some people over 50 who didn't play heavy sport when younger to answer some questions as well ( If you would like to be one of these people , please message me as you questions are different and not as long) .
So i'm hoping any of you may fit into this criteria and are willing to answer .
All information received will be kept confidential , just myself and my teacher will read it .
If any of you are willing to take part in this survey you can email me you answers.
My email is - evolverizo@hotmail.com

The questions are as follows

9. Does your family have any history of musculoskeletal problems( if so what) ?

10 . Have you heard about the possible idea that playing sport while younger could be linked to musculoskeletal problems later on?

11. Do you think playing sport was one of the causes of your muscular skeletal problems , if you have any ?

12. If it was proved to be true that playing sport at a young age can cause musculoskeletal problems would you have still played sport if you knew that back then ?

Please try and answer the questions in as much detail as you can . I do understand that some of the questions are personal , so if you feel uncomfortable answering some please just write 'no comment '
