BACKGROUND
This study focused on risk factors for serious injuries in farm and ranch operators in the central United States.
METHODS
The Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, in collaboration with the National Agricultural Statistics Service, sent mail surveys to 6953, 6912, and 6912 farms/ranches in 2011-2013, respectively, covering seven Midwestern states.
RESULTS
The average survey response rate was 35%. The average annual incidence rate (injuries/100 workers) was 6.91 for all injuries and 2.40 for serious injuries. Univariate analyses determined several demographic and farm production-related risk factors for serious injury. Adjusted analysis showed a greater risk of serious injury for operators of age 45-54 years (vs. 65 and higher), those who worked 75-99% of their time (vs. less time), and those who operated larger land areas (vs. smaller).
CONCLUSION
The identified risk factors should be considered when targeting injury prevention programs.
背景
本研究聚焦于美国中部农场和牧场经营者发生严重伤害的危险因素。
方法
中央州农业安全与健康中心与国家农业统计处合作，分别于 2011 年至 2013 年向 6953、6912 和 6912 个农场/牧场邮寄了调查，涵盖了七个中西部州。
结果
平均调查回复率为 35%。所有伤害的平均年发生率（每 100 名工人受伤数）为 6.91，严重伤害的发生率为 2.40。单变量分析确定了一些与人口统计学和农场生产相关的严重伤害危险因素。调整分析显示，45-54 岁的经营者（与 65 岁及以上者相比）、工作时间为 75%-99%的经营者（与工作时间较少者相比）以及经营较大土地面积的经营者（与经营较小土地面积者相比）严重受伤的风险更高。
结论
在确定伤害预防计划的目标人群时，应考虑到这些确定的危险因素。
