Objective: In Iran, as in most developing countries, agriculture is considered a hazardous industry. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) have been shown to be the most common occupational injury among farmers. The present study was carried out among agricultural workers of Fars province, Iran to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and to assess working postures and ergonomic working conditions to identify the major risk factors associated with MSD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1501 randomly selected Iranian agricultural workers with at least 1 year of job tenure. Data were collected using demographic/occupational questionnaire, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), Quick Exposure Check (QEC) technique, and ergonomic working conditions checklist. Results: The mean age of the participants was 41.39 ± 13.64 years. The results of NMQ showed the highest prevalence of MSD symptoms was related to lower back (59.3%), knees (36.9%), and upper back (36.6%). Indeed, the QEC score was high or very high (action levels 3 and 4) in 83.1% of the farmers. Moreover, the ergonomic working conditions checklist revealed that the participants' "working postures" index had the lowest mean, indicating poor ergonomic conditions, while "hand tools" had the highest mean, indicating proper ergonomic conditions. Conclusions: The results demonstrated the high prevalence of MSD symptoms among Iranian agricultural workers. Elimination of harmful working postures was recommended to improve working conditions.

:目的:在伊朗,与大多数发展中国家一样,农业被认为是危险工业。肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)已被证明是农民中最常见的职业伤害。本研究是在伊朗法尔斯省的农业工人中进行的,以确定肌肉骨骼症状的患病率,评估工作姿势和人体工程学工作条件,以确定与MSD相关的主要危险因素。方法:这项横断面研究是对1501名随机选择的,至少任职一年的伊朗农业工人进行的。使用人口统计/职业调查表,北欧肌肉骨骼调查表(NMQ),快速暴露检查(QEC)技术和符合人体工程学的工作条件检查表收集数据。结果:参与者的平均年龄为41.39±13.64岁。 NMQ的结果表明,MSD症状的最高发生率与下背部(59.3%),膝盖(36.9%)和上背部(36.6%)有关。确实,在83.1%的农民中,QEC得分很高或很高(行动水平3和4)。此外,人体工学工作条件清单显示,参与者的“工作姿势”指数平均值最低,表明人体工程学条件较差;而“手工具”平均值最高,表明人体工程学条件良好。结论:结果表明在伊朗农业工人中MSD症状高发。建议消除有害的工作姿势,以改善工作条件。
