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 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.

济州农民腰痛患病率及相关危险因素

背景

我们旨在调查该人群中腰痛 (LBP) 的患病率及其相关的农业工作相关的生物力学因素。

方法

我们分析了来自济州岛成年农民的农民农业伤害安全队列研究的初步调查数据。LBP的患病率与相关因素一起计算。

结果

共有 1,209 名参与者被纳入分析。LBP 的总体患病率为 23.7%。LBP 的显着关联是农业活动的类型、农业职业的长度、1 年内先前的农业伤害和压力水平。多变量逻辑回归分析揭示了与 LBP 显着相关的三个生物力学因素：重复使用特定身体部位；下背部和颈部姿势不当。

结论

一些职业和生物力学风险因素会导致 LBP。因此，需要姿势教育、伤害预防教育和心理支持来预防腰痛。
