We evaluated the relationship between telecommuting environment and low back pain (LBP) among desk-based workers in Japan.
This cross-sectional study included 3663 desk-based, telecommuting workers. LBP was assessed using a 0 to 10 numerical rating scale. The telecommuting environment was evaluated using subjective questions. Mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate this association.
The results of mixed-effects logistic model revealed that not having a place or room to concentrate on work, desk not well-lit enough for work, lack of space on the desk to work, not having enough legroom, and uncomfortable temperature and humidity conditions in the workspace were significantly associated with higher odds of LBP.
Our findings suggest that telecommuting environment is associated with the prevalence of LBP.
我们评估了日本伏案办公人员远程办公环境与下背痛(LBP)之间的关系。
本横断面研究纳入了 3663 名伏案办公的远程办公人员。采用 0 至 10 的数字评分量表评估 LBP。使用主观问题评估远程办公环境。采用混合效应逻辑回归分析评估这种关联。
混合效应逻辑模型的结果显示,没有专门用于工作的地方或房间、工作桌面照明不足、工作桌面空间不足、腿部空间不足以及工作空间内温度和湿度条件不适,与更高的 LBP 发生几率显著相关。
我们的研究结果表明,远程办公环境与 LBP 的患病率相关。
