Prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among industrial employees in a modern industrial region in Beijing, China.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of MSDs among industrial employees has changed. Frontline workers had different prevalence and risk factors for MSDs compared with other employees. Negative propensity to healthcare, limited ways to obtain health knowledge, and concomitant chronic diseases were associated with MSDs. Surprisingly, highly educated and high-income employees had a higher risk of MSDs. PMID: 30897593 [PubMed - in process]
