The incidence of Dupuytren's contracture in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacturing plant, where a great deal of bagging and packing took place by hand, was higher than in another plant in which there was no bagging or packing. The incidence in the packing plant was double that found in an earlier survey by Early at Crewe Locomotive Works of 4801 individuals, most of whom were manual workers. The implication is that the nature of the work of bagging and packing in our PVC compounding plant may have triggered Dupuytren's contracture.
在一家聚氯乙烯（PVC）制造厂中，大量的装袋和包装工作都是手工完成的，这里掌腱膜挛缩症的发病率高于另一家没有装袋或包装工作的工厂。包装厂的发病率是早期在克鲁机车厂对4801人进行的一项调查中所发现发病率的两倍，这些人中大多数是体力劳动者。这意味着我们PVC配料厂的装袋和包装工作性质可能引发了掌腱膜挛缩症。
