International studies have shown that musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) and disorders (MSD) are common among dairy farm milkers. Although dairy production is diverse, it has so far not been possible to explain the high risk by production parameters. Two national studies carried out under similar conditions were the incentive to merge the data and increase the sample size. The Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to assess MSS prevalence among 92 Swedish and 116 German male and female milkers. Eighty-four percent and 85% of the Swedish and German milkers reported MSS in at least one body part. Highest prevalence was reported in the lower back, shoulder, and neck. Females showed a significantly higher risk of MSS. Apart from that, small significant influence of MSS was found for other risk factors. These findings indicate that technical and organizational modifications of the work place design in milking parlors are needed.
国际研究表明,肌肉骨骼症状(MSS)和疾病(MSD)在奶牛场挤奶工中很常见。尽管乳制品生产多种多样,但迄今为止,尚无法通过生产参数来解释这种高风险。在相似条件下开展的两项全国性研究促使人们合并数据并增加样本量。采用标准化北欧问卷评估了92名瑞典和116名德国男女挤奶工中MSS的患病率。84%的瑞典挤奶工和85%的德国挤奶工报告称至少有一个身体部位出现MSS。下背部、肩部和颈部的患病率最高。女性出现MSS的风险显著更高。除此之外,还发现了其他风险因素对MSS有微小的显著影响。这些发现表明,挤奶厅工作场所设计需要进行技术和组织方面的改进。
