With the prevalence estimated between 7% and 18% of the adult population, CTS is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremities. It is the most common neuro-compressive disease. Objective: To assess the individual risk factors of carpal tunnel syndrome In Bangladeshi Population. Materials and Methods: The present case-control study was conduct at the Dept. of Neurology, Uttara Adhunik Medical College Hospital (UAMCH), Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2019 to December 2021. 3019 patients included in our study and who were diagnosed in the 84% of patients were aged 41-70 years both case and control groups.

Among these patients, there were 756 CTS patients aged 41-70 years without any other diseases which could cause numbness as the case group. Then there were 2263 non-CTS outpatients involved as the control group. The average BMI in case group was 22.79±2.60 and 21.49±5.03 in control group with significant difference (P |
