| Resumen |
A cross-sectional epidemiologic study was conducted to determine the prevalence of self-reported musculoskeletal pain (MSP) in construction workers and identify associations between MSP and job, age, alcohol consumption and smoking. Risk factors for total pain and for relatively severe pain in the hand/arm (RS-HAP), shoulder, and low-back (RS-LBP) were estimated by multiple logistic regression analysis. The results showed that musculoskeletal pain was significantly associated with age, and that the odds ratios (ORs) for relatively severe musculoskeletal pain increased almost linearly with age. Regarding the occupation, compared with architects whose work is presumed to be sedentary, almost all ORs for non-sedentary construction jobs were significantly high. Current smokers of 20 cigarettes a day or more had significantly higher ORs for RS-HAP and RS-LBP than for persons who never smoked. |
