The correlation between symptoms from the neck and upper extremities and some individual and work-related factors was analyzed in 2814 industrial workers. Physical stress by type of job was the factor most strongly correlated with ongoing cervicobrachial symptoms. Symptoms from the neck and upper extremities were twice as common in workers who used vibrating hand tools. Mental stress at the onset of the symptoms was associated with an increased prevalence of trapezius myalgia and with lateral humeral epicondylitis and "radial tunnel syndrome" in the dominant arm. Women had about double the rate of cervicobrachial symptoms as did men. Short stature increased the rate of symptoms from the neck, shoulders, and hands as did overweight. Playing of racquet sports decreased the risk of symptoms from the neck and hands.
对2814名产业工人颈部和上肢症状与一些个人因素及工作相关因素之间的相关性进行了分析。按工作类型划分的身体压力是与持续性颈臂症状相关性最强的因素。使用振动手工具的工人出现颈部和上肢症状的几率是其他人的两倍。症状发作时的精神压力与斜方肌肌痛、优势侧肱骨外上髁炎和“桡管综合征”患病率增加有关。女性出现颈臂症状的几率约为男性的两倍。身材矮小以及超重都会增加颈部、肩部和手部出现症状的几率。进行球拍类运动可降低颈部和手部出现症状的风险。
