Little is known about work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among computer users mainland China. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of WMSDs in office workers in Beijing, and to determine risk factors for WMSDs in the neck (WMSDs-N).
In a cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was delivered to 720 office workers who use a computer as a main working tool. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for risk factors.
The prevalence of WMSDs of the neck, shoulder, wrist/hand, upper back and low back amongst office workers were 55.5, 50.7, 31.5, 26.2 and 6.6%, respectively. Both individual risk factor and working condition factors were found to be independently related to WMSDs-N.
The WMSDs prevalence rates among office workers in Beijing, China, were high. The most affected area was the neck. Preventive measures for office work should be focused on the neck (e.g., rest breaks).
在中国内地，人们对与计算机相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）知之甚少。本研究旨在评估北京办公人员的 WMSD 患病率，并确定颈部 WMSD（WMSD-N）的危险因素。
采用横断面研究方法，对 720 名使用计算机作为主要工作工具的办公人员进行了自我管理问卷调查。计算了危险因素的比值比（OR）。
颈、肩、腕/手、上背部和下背部的 WMSD 患病率在办公人员中分别为 55.5%、50.7%、31.5%、26.2%和 6.6%。个体危险因素和工作条件因素均与 WMSD-N 独立相关。
中国北京办公人员的 WMSD 患病率较高，受影响最严重的部位是颈部。办公工作的预防措施应侧重于颈部（例如，休息时间）。
