Pain in the upper back is prevailing more than pain in the lower back amongst workers of building construction; a cohort study.
Construction is hazardous for workers' health. This study identifies the prevalence of spinal pain vis-à-vis associated occupational and socioeconomic factors, amongst 600 workers (from 20 construction sites, occupied at 7 work stages). We extracted data from the Nordic-Musculoskeletal-Disorders-Questionnaire and analysed in association with personal and occupational traits, using R-language. All workers were male with ages ranging between 15 and 53 years, a mean value of 28.43, and a mean BMI of 19.89 kg/m2. A total of 506 workers reported pain in the upper back. Odd Ratios (ORs) of work experience were high (6.749) for the upper back. Income and a part-time job with ORs 1.957 and 2.238 affected upper back. The highest OR (1.165) for the upper back was in 'helpers', and for the lower back (1.643) in 'floor/roof slabbers'. The prevalence of pain with frequency (daily) in the upper back is high (n = 197) than the lower back (n = 170). Intervention is suggested to reduce risk factors.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
