从劳工统计局补充数据系统（SDS）中获得的1979年工人赔偿索赔数据被用来检查美国国家赔偿系统涵盖的工业雇员中背部拉伤/扭伤的人口统计学和职业发生率。这些数据与估计的就业数字相结合，提供发病率，从而可以更好地近似行业和职业特定风险。发病率最高的行业是建筑业（每100名工人1.6次索赔）和采矿业（每100名工人1.5次索赔）。比率最高的职业是杂项劳工（每百名工人有12.3宗申索）和垃圾收集工（每百名工人有11.1宗申索）。1979年，美国26个SDS州因背部拉伤/扭伤提出的285,468项赔偿要求表明，背部受伤对美国工人及其雇主来说仍然是一个巨大而昂贵的问题。
Workers compensation claim data for 1979 obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics'' Supplementary Data System (SDS) were utilized to examine the demographic and occupational incidence of back strains/sprains among USA industrial employees covered by state compensation systems. These data were combined with estimated employment figures to provide incidence ratios, which allowed better approximations of industry- and occupation-specific risk. Industries found to have the largest incidence ratios were construction (1.6 claims/100 workers) and mining (1.5 claims/100 workers). Occupations with the largest ratios were miscellaneous laborers (12.3 claims/100 workers) and garbage collectors (11.1 claims/100 workers). The 285,468 compensation claims due to back strains/sprains filed in the 26 SDS states in 1979 suggested that back injuries continued to be a large and costly problem for USA workers and their employers.
