Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the status of musculoskeletal disorders and some related personal and professional factors of the underground construction engineer soldiers. Subjects and methods: 200 soldiers work in 2 engineer brigades, in which 100 soldiers directly work in underground works (research group), the remaining 100 soldiers did not work in underground works (control group). A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis, comparison and control. Results: The mean age of the study group was 38.70± 5.81 and the control group was 38.70± 6.57. The rate of MSD in the study group was higher than in the control group (86% versus 62%). The main position of MSD is neck (24%), shoulder (23%), upper back (26%), lower back (23%). Soldiers aged ≥40 years old had a 1.6 times higher risk of MSD than the group <30 years old, and an adverse working posture had a 1.27 times higher risk of MSD compared with the non-adverse posture group. Conclusion: the rate of musculoskeletal disorders in the engineer soldiers who work in underground works is quite high with 86%. There is a relationship between musculoskeletal disorders with age and working posture, older age and adverse working posture, the greater the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
