肌肉骨骼疾病（MSDs）是许多职业群体因工作致残和损失时间疾病的主要原因。本研究确定了年轻建筑工人中肌肉骨骼症状的患病率。对996名建筑学徒进行了症状与工作因素调查。患病率由对肌肉骨骼症状问题的阳性反应百分比确定。比值比和95%置信区间是衡量流行肌肉骨骼症状与人口统计学、休闲和工作因素之间关联的指标，并通过逻辑回归确定。腰背部是与工作相关的肌肉骨骼症状最常见的部位（4.54%），这也是寻求医生护理（16.8%）和缺勤（7.3%）的最常见原因。在建筑行业工作的年数与膝关节（p-trend = 0.0009）和手腕/手（p-trend < 0.04） MSD症状显著相关，并提示与腰痛相关（p-trend = 0.05）。“长时间在同一个岗位上工作”被认为是最具问题的工作因素，49.7%的建筑学徒认为这是导致肌肉骨骼症状的中度/严重问题。肌肉骨骼症状是年轻建筑工人职业生涯开始时的一个重要问题。在学徒培训计划的早期需要预防策略，以减少与工作相关的肌肉骨骼症状障碍相关的潜在残疾。
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major cause of work-related disability and lost-time illnesses for many occupational groups. This study determined the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among young construction workers. A symptom and job factors survey was self-administered to 996 construction apprentices. Prevalence was determined by the percent of positive responses to musculoskeletal symptom questions. Odds ratios and 95 percent confidence intervals were the measures of association between prevalent musculoskeletal symptoms and demographic, leisure, and job factors and were determined by logistic regression. The low back was the site most commonly reported for job-related musculoskeletal symptoms (4.54%), which was also the most common reason for seeking care from a physician (16.8%) and missing work (7.3%). Number of years worked in the construction trade was significantly associated with knee (p-trend = 0.0009) and wrist/hand (p-trend < 0.04) MSD symptoms and was suggestive of an association with low back pain (p-trend = 0.05). "Working in the same position for long periods" was the job factor identified as most problematic, with 49.7 percent of all construction apprentices rating it as a moderate/major problem contributing to musculoskeletal symptoms. Musculoskeletal symptoms are a significant problem among young construction workers at the beginning of their careers. Prevention strategies are needed early in the apprentice training program to reduce the potential disability associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptom disorders.
