Frailty and occupational falls among older Japanese workers: An Internet-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that frailty is associated with occupational falls among older workers in tertiary industries. We recommend that employers introduce frailty screening, and consider countermeasures based on the screening results to prevent occupational falls among older workers.PMID:37715321 | DOI:10.1002/1348-9585.12424 (Source: Journal of Occupational Health)

The impact of mechanical devices for lifting and transferring of patients on low back pain and musculoskeletal injuries in health care personnel-A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Prediction intervals confirmed strong true effect sizes for MSI rate and perceived LBP in 95% of all comparable populations but not for peak compressive spinal load. Mechanical lifting and transferring devices displayed a favorable cost-benefit ratio and should be considered for clinical implementation.PMID:37712457 | PMC:PMC10502824 | DOI:10.1002/1348-9585.12423 (Source: Journal of Occupational Health)
