ABSTRACT
Analysed were the dependencies between the single and total weight of lifted objects and disturbed equilibrium of working women's uterus. The examined population covered 167 women working in standing position, lifting objects of different single and total mass during their workday. The analysis involved: workers' age, type of menstruation, childbirth, urine incontinence and equilibrium of the uterus and vagina. The percentage of women with the descent of uterus and vagina, uterus displacement and effort urine incontinence was found to increase with age, length of employment and number of deliveries, particularly high percentage being the one relating to women lifting, just once, heavy objects. No correlation was found between the incidence rate of the health disturbances and the total weight of the objects lifted during the workday.
