In the United States, work-related back pain often results in lost wages, reduced productivity, and increased medical costs. However, national surveillance data about these injuries, such as occupationally acquired back pain among workers on small or family farms, are limited. To characterize back pain in a farming population, researchers at Colorado State University interviewed adult farmers residing in eight northeastern Colorado counties (Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgewick, Washington, Weld, and Yuma) during 1993-1996, using the Colorado Farm Family Health and Hazard Survey (CFFHHS). This report summarizes the findings of CFFHHS, which indicate that back pain is common among farmers and most frequently attributed to repeated activities (RAs) (e.g. lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, and reaching).
在美国，与工作相关的背痛常常导致工资损失、生产力下降以及医疗成本增加。然而，关于这些损伤的全国监测数据有限，比如小型或家庭农场工人的职业性背痛情况。为了描述务农人群中的背痛特征，科罗拉多州立大学的研究人员在1993年至1996年期间，采用科罗拉多农场家庭健康与危害调查（CFFHHS），对居住在科罗拉多州东北部八个县（拉里默、洛根、摩根、菲利普斯、塞奇威克、华盛顿、韦尔德和尤马）的成年农民进行了访谈。本报告总结了CFFHHS的研究结果，这些结果表明背痛在农民中很常见，并且最常归因于重复性活动（如提举、推、拉、弯腰、扭转和伸手够物）。
