Sixteen articles published between 1987 and 2008 regarding work-related activities as risk factors for osteoarthritis of the knee, hand, foot, hip, and cervical spine were chronologically reviewed. Despite challenges (e.g., nonresponse bias, inadequate sample size, and retrospective exposure assessment), the review findings indicated a strong relationship between physical strain experienced while performing physically demanding jobs and the incidence of osteoarthritis. This conclusion informs occupational health nurses' work and design of work policies.
对1987年至2008年间发表的16篇关于工作相关活动作为膝、手、足、髋和颈椎骨关节炎危险因素的文章进行了按时间顺序的综述。尽管存在挑战（例如无应答偏倚、样本量不足和回顾性暴露评估），但综述结果表明，从事体力要求高的工作时所经历的身体劳损与骨关节炎的发病率之间存在密切关系。这一结论为职业健康护士的工作和工作政策的制定提供了依据。
