Assessment of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms among INDIAN textile sizing mill workers
CONCLUSION: This study confirms that sizing agents such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), emulsifier, wax, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch used in sizing mills are also responsible for respiratory illness and lung impairment among textile workers.PMID:38640184 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230399 (Source: Work)

The effects of standing foot-transmitted vibration on self-reported discomfort ratings
CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests a potential connection between resonant frequencies and discomfort, potentially indicating injury risk. Although self-reported discomfort is insufficient for directly assessing injury risk from FTV, it provides a simple method for monitoring potential musculoskeletal risks related to vibration exposure at resonant frequencies. While professional vibration assessment remains necessary, self-reported discomfort may act as an early indicated of vibration-induced injuries, aiding in implementing mitigation strategies.PMID:38640185 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230491 (Source: Work)

Employment and retirement among workers who develop vision loss in midlife
CONCLUSIONS: The decreasing likelihood of leaving the labor market after vision loss is an encouraging finding of this study. Workers who left the labor force after vision loss were more likely to be in precarious financial positions, and retirees did not have positive experiences with retirement. Assisting workers with vision loss to remain in the labor force is of vital importance, and increasing awareness and usage of free services for this population may reduce involuntary retirement and its negative consequences.PMID:38640188 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230669 (Source: Work)

Healthy eating behaviors and food consumption frequencies of retail workers
CONCLUSIONS: The retail workers in shopping malls were found to have insufficient healthy eating behaviors, a low frequency of healthy food consumption, and a high level of fast-food consumption. Maintaining healthy eating habits is crucial for the health of employees. It is necessary for workplaces to take steps to help their employees become aware of and practice healthy eating. Workplaces should also be encouraged to provide healthy food options for their employees.PMID:38607781 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230460 (Source: Work)
