. This study aimed to investigate 12-month and 7-day prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among workers of the pulp and paper industry, and assess the contribution of age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity (PA). . The sample comprised 904 workers. Musculoskeletal symptoms were assessed using the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. tests assessed the association between musculoskeletal symptoms and age/gender/BMI/PA, and multivariate logistic regression models predicted the 12-month occurrence of symptoms in the five most prevalent regions. . The five most affected body regions were the lower back, shoulders, neck, knees and wrists/hands. Older workers presented more symptoms in all body regions, except dorsal; female gender was associated with neck symptoms (= 0.001); overweight was associated with a higher prevalence of lower back (= 0.01), knee (= 0.017) and ankle/foot (= 0.037) symptoms; and a moderate PA level was associated with thigh/hip symptoms (= 0.006). Age was a significant predictor in all five most affected regions; gender was a significant predictor for shoulders, neck and wrists/hands; and BMI was a significant predictor for lower back symptoms. The 12-month and 7-day prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among workers of the pulp and paper industry is higher in the lower back, shoulders, neck, knees and wrists/hands.
本研究旨在调查制浆造纸行业工人肌肉骨骼症状的12个月患病率和7天患病率，并评估年龄、性别、体重指数（BMI）和身体活动（PA）的影响。样本包括904名工人。使用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷评估肌肉骨骼症状。检验评估了肌肉骨骼症状与年龄/性别/BMI/PA之间的关联，多变量逻辑回归模型预测了五个最常见部位12个月内症状的发生情况。五个受影响最严重的身体部位是下背部、肩部、颈部、膝盖和手腕/手部。除背部外，老年工人在所有身体部位出现的症状更多；女性与颈部症状相关（P = 0.001）；超重与下背部（P = 0.01）、膝盖（P = 0.017）和脚踝/足部（P = 0.037）症状的较高患病率相关；中等水平的身体活动与大腿/臀部症状相关（P = 0.006）。年龄是所有五个受影响最严重部位症状的重要预测因素；性别是肩部、颈部和手腕/手部症状的重要预测因素；BMI是下背部症状的重要预测因素。制浆造纸行业工人肌肉骨骼症状的12个月患病率和7天患病率在下背部、肩部、颈部、膝盖和手腕/手部较高。
