Abstract |
Agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States. In this population-based prospective study, the work-related injury rate and risk factors among 290 Iowa male principal farm operators was investigated. Baseline data were collected between 1991 and 1994, and injury events were surveyed during the autumn of 1995. Cumulative incidence of farming work-related injuries during the previous year was 10.5%. It was found that the factors giving rise to the highest incidence of farming work-related injuries were depressive symptoms (odds ratio 3.22) and the number of hours working with animals (odds ratio 2.14). |
