Résumé
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of multisite work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) of workers in a railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise. METHODS: A total of 366 male workers in the assembly and riveting workshop of a railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise were selected as the research subjects using the cluster sampling method. The Chinese Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of multiple sites of WMSDs. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. RESULTS: The total prevalence of WMSDs was 56.3%(206/366). The prevalence of WMSDs in all parts from high to low was as follows: lower back(35.5%), hand and wrist(27.6%), neck(23.2%), shoulder(21.0%), knee(19.9%), upper back(18.6%), hip and leg(18.0%), ankle/foot(15.8%) and elbow(12.3%)(P<0.01). The total prevalence of multisite WMSDs was 38.0%(139/366). The prevalence of WMSDs in different numbers of parts from high to low was as follows: 6 or more parts(12.0%), 2 parts(10.7%), 3 parts(6.6%), 5 parts(5.5%) and 4 parts(3.3%)(P<0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis results showed that the overweight and obese workers had higher risk of multi site WMSDs than those with normal body mass index(P<0.05).Those with long-term low heads, frequent bending, long bending of the elbows, and higher frequency of work requirements, and less frequently communicated with the leader had higher risk of multi site WMSDs(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of multisite WMSDs in railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise is relatively high. The influencing factors include individual factors, adverse ergonomic factors and psychosocial factors.
