Abstract

Introduction: Heavy load LIFTING or occupational and individual factors are effective hazard agents in the occurrence of MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. Therefore, the aim of the present study was investigating the correlation of MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS with WORK ABILITY INDEX and allowable load LIFTING limit.Methods: This analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted using census (n=60) among the kitchen workers in Qazvin teaching hospitals in 2016. Data were collected through questionnaires including pain prevalence, WORK ABILITY INDEX and allowable load LIFTING limit. Data was analyzed by single and multiple regression logistic using SPSS 16 software.Results: The highest prevalence was observed in the lower back (%78.3). Of the workers, %61.7 reported a good level of WORK ABILITY INDEX and %58.3 of the workplaces were in unsafe conditions of load handling. Unsafe condition alone increased the prevalence of shoulder and neck pain about 7 times and the lower back pain 4 times, and in interaction with other risk factors, the prevalence of neck and shoulder pains had 25 and 28 times increase, respectively. Also, subjects with good levels of ability compared to subjects with excellent levels of ability were 9 times more in exposure of MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS.Conclusions: Risk factors such as body mass index, work ability and allowable load LIFTING limit can affect the prevalence of MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. So, selection of subjects with good and excellent work ability levels and compliance with the load limit are the effective solutions in increasing the productivity and reducing MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS among kitchen workers.
