摘要: Farming is a physically arduous occupation and this places farm workers at potential risk of musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis (OA) the hip knee, low back pain (LBP), neck upper limb complaints, hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). This review considers epidemiological evidence concerning risks. The strongest relates to OA hip, for which public health impact likely be considerable. There also weaker, but suggestive that farmers more often have knee LBP than in occupations with fewer physical demands. Tractor drivers, particular, seem LBP. Relatively little information exists on risks soft tissue rheumatism limbs neck. For some outcomes, link occupational factors (such heavy loading joints whole-body vibration) sufficient suggest course future prevention should take, several outcomes research first needed.
