BACKGROUND
The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among custodians is high. We sought to compare musculoskeletal symptoms between female and male custodians and to explore how task might affect this relationship.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was performed among 712 custodians who completed a survey assessing upper extremity, back, and lower extremity musculoskeletal symptoms and exposure to cleaning tasks. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were used to test for associations between gender, cleaning tasks, and musculoskeletal symptoms.
RESULTS
Gender was significantly (P < 0.05) associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in χ(2) tests and multivariate analyses. The prevalence ratio of symptoms among women was roughly 50% higher than men, regardless of the tasks that workers performed.
CONCLUSIONS
The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms differed for female and male custodians and appeared to be consistent across a range of job tasks. Am. J. Ind. Med. 59:841-852, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
背景
保管人员中肌肉骨骼症状的患病率很高。我们试图比较女性和男性保管人员的肌肉骨骼症状，并探讨工作任务如何影响这种关系。
方法
对712名保管人员进行了一项横断面研究，这些人员完成了一项调查，评估上肢、背部和下肢的肌肉骨骼症状以及接触清洁任务的情况。采用卡方检验和逻辑回归分析来检验性别、清洁任务和肌肉骨骼症状之间的关联。
结果
在卡方检验和多变量分析中，性别与肌肉骨骼症状显著相关（P < 0.05）。无论工人执行何种任务，女性症状的患病率比男性高约50%。
结论
女性和男性保管人员的肌肉骨骼症状患病率不同，并且在一系列工作任务中似乎是一致的。《美国工业医学杂志》59:841 - 852，2016年。© 2016威利期刊公司。
