Prevalence of Low Back Pain and Associated Risk Factors among Farmers in Jeju
Background: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and its associated agricultural work-related, biomechanical factors among this population. Methods: We analyzed initial survey data from the Safety for Agricultural Injury of Farmers cohort study involving adult farmers in Jej...

Methods: We analyzed initial survey data from the Safety for Agricultural Injury of Farmers cohort study involving adult farmers in Jeju Island. The prevalence of LBP was calculated with associated factors. Results: In total, 1,209 participants were included in the analysis. The overall prevalence of LBP was 23.7%. Significant associations for LBP were the type of farming activity, length of farming career, prior agricultural injury within 1 year, and stress levels. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed three biomechanical factors significantly related to LBP: repetitive use of particular body parts; the inappropriate posture of the lower back and neck. Conclusions: Some occupational, and biomechanical risk factors contribute to LBP. Therefore, postural education, injury prevention education, and psychological support will be needed to prevent LBP.Hyun Jung LeeJung-Hwan OhJeong Rae YooSeo Young KoJeong Ho KangSung Kgun LeeWooseong JeongGil Myeong SeongChul Hoo KangSung Wook SongElsevierarticleAgricultureErgonomicsFarmersLow back painRisk factorPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENSafety and Health at Work, Vol 12, Iss 4, Pp 432-438 (2021) |
