TL;DR: There was substantial heterogeneity between occupational groups in economic and psychosocial aspects of work; three- to five-fold variation in awareness of someone outside work with musculoskeletal pain; and more than ten-fold variations in the prevalence of adverse health beliefs about back and arm pain.

TL;DR: Large international variation in the prevalence of disabling forearm and back pain among occupational groups carrying out similar tasks, which is only partially explained by the personal and socioeconomic risk factors that were analysed, is indicated.

TL;DR: Cross‐sectional data from the CUPID study supports the classification of pain at multiple anatomical sites simply by the number of sites affected, and suggests that extensive pain differs importantly in its associations with risk factors from pain that is limited to only a small number of anatomical sites.

TL;DR: This study supports the use of questions from the Brief Symptom Inventory as a method for measuring somatising tendency, and suggests that in adults of working age, it is a fairly stable trait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual and work-related risk factors for musculoskeletal pain: a cross-sectional study among Estonian computer users
TL;DR: A high prevalence of MSP in the neck, low back, wrist/arm and shoulder was observed among Estonian computer users, and Psychosocial risk factors were broadly consistent with those reported from elsewhere.
