“…In addition, in Korea, studies on musculoskeletal disorders have been mostly focused on the prevalence and risk factors of them in some occupations. 5 6 Although some studies were conducted using data on occupational disease compensation, 7 8 research was limited to specific parts of the body or the characteristics of musculoskeletal disorders by sex were investigated. 9 In short, previous studies did not provide an adequate analysis of frequently occurring musculoskeletal disorders by body part or occupations with a high prevalence or a high risk for specific musculoskeletal disorders.…”

Background This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in occupational disease claims and identify patterns of WRMSDs for each body part by industry and occupation. Methods This study analyzed the raw data of occupational disease claims for musculoskeletal disorders deliberated by the Occupational Disease Decision Committee of the Korea Workers’ Compensation & Welfare Service in 2020. The data was classified into 6 body parts with the highest numbers of occupational disease cases by using the complete enumeration data on principal diagnoses and 4 types of subdiagnoses in the raw data. The characteristics and approval rates of WRMSDs by body part, industry and occupation were examined and summarized. Results A total of 13,015 occupational disease cases for WRMSDs were classified, and lumbar spinal (back) diseases accounted for the largest proportion of claimed diseases, followed by shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and neck diseases in a descending order. The occupations with the highest and second highest numbers of occupational disease cases by body part were found to be automobile assemblers and production-related elementary workers for the neck, school meal service workers and cooks for the back, construction frame mold carpenters and school meal service workers for the shoulder, elementary workers in mining and food service workers for the elbow, food service workers and automobile parts assemblers for the wrist, and ship welders and school meal service workers for the knee. Conclusions This study examined the characteristics and approval status of WRMSDs by body part and occupation. Based on the study results, management strategies for the prevention of WRMSDs should be established regarding occupations with a high risk of WRMSDs for each body part.

Objectives: Due to the prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, prioritizing the safety and well-being of essential workers, who play a vital role in enabling contactless living, is paramount. This study aims to check oral health status and related factors in platform workers. Methods: The participants, who are platform workers in Seoul, were divided into three occupations: replacement driver, parcel, and delivery. The survey included oral examination and health-related questionnaires from August to November 2022. Finally, 204 platform workers in Seoul participated in the study. The socio-demographic characteristics of participants, such as sex, age, education level, and health behavior, were analyzed. A chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the socio-demographic factors related to the need for dentures. Results: Most participants were men (97.5%), and in the age of 50s (33.8%). In total, the proportion of the need for dentures was 40.2%. It was high in the group of parcel, the 50s age group, and people without experience of the oral exam last year (P<0.05). The probability of needing dentures was 9.7 times higher in the 50s than in the 30s, and 2.3 times higher in the group without oral exam experience last year than the group with that experience. Conclusions: Among the platform workers in Seoul, age and oral examination were related factors for denture needs. To promote the oral health of platform workers, the policy to increase oral examination should be implemented.
