To investigate the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and the particular MSDs to which Chinese restaurant cooks are most at risk in Taiwan, National Health Insurance Data from 1998 to 2002 were used to identify MSDs for study populations, including 52,261 certified cooks and 209,044 references matched for age and sex. The annual incidence of MSDs was around 25% and 20% for cooks and references, respectively, and the cook-to-reference risk ratios ranged from 1.29 to 1.35 (p<0.001). The most frequently affected body part was the low back, but the epicondyle was at higher risk (OR>2) than other sites for the cooks. Cooks are at higher risk of having MSDs complaints and MSDs related to the elbow show the highest risk.
为调查台湾地区中餐厅厨师肌肉骨骼疾病(MSDs)的发病率以及他们最易患的特定MSDs,利用1998年至2002年的国民健康保险数据确定研究人群中的MSDs,研究人群包括52261名持证厨师和209044名年龄及性别匹配的对照。厨师和对照人群的MSDs年发病率分别约为25%和20%,厨师与对照的风险比在1.29至1.35之间(p<0.001)。最常受影响的身体部位是下背部,但厨师的肱骨外上髁比其他部位有更高的患病风险(OR>2)。厨师患MSDs的风险更高,且与肘部相关的MSDs风险最高。
