| Abstract |
Europe is faced with a continuous rise in the number of workers suffering from musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs). Currently, some 40 million workers are affected by these diseases, for which the economic burden is estimated at between 0.5 and 2% of the gross domestic product. This review document on MSDs in Europe covers the definition of MSDs, MSDs that figure on the list of occupational diseases compensated in various countries and trends in the number of persons affected by MSDs in the main European countries. |
