| Abstract |
Risk factors for fall-related farm injuries were assessed in a population-based, case-control study carried out in a defined geographical region of Wisconsin, USA. Results are based on 45 interviewed fall-related injuries and 152 matched controls. The annual risk of farm fall injury was 7.5 per 1,000 person-years. Three factors were significantly associated with risk: risk of injury increased 2% per hour worked; residents of farms with some non-resident workers had a fall injury rate 2.5 times greater than residents of other farms; and residents of farms with some registered cows had one-third the risk of residents of other farms. |
