“…For office workers, lack of ergonomic-featured office equipment, sitting, standing and watching computer screens for a long period, and lack of exercise, were related to arm, neck, shoulder and lower limbs pains as well as eye problems [161][162][163]. In addition, due to the low requirements for physical burden, office workers' on-boarding health screening may be not as strict as blue-collar workers, and were less likely to quit work because of acute injuries.…”

“…Entre os trabalhadores de escritório que utilizam computador, as mulheres apresentaram mais SO em todas as regiões anatômicas avaliadas, e na análise de associação multivariada obtiveram uma razão de chance ou odds ratio igual a 2,4 (p = 0,03) para a região da cervical e igual a 2,8 (p = 0,01) para membros superiores (braço, cotovelo, antebraço, punho ou mão) 11 . Algumas possíveis explicações para esses achados seriam a menor massa muscular, em termos absolutos e relativos, na composição física da mulher 19 ; alterações no sistema hormonal; e a dupla jornada de trabalho, já que muitas vezes ela é a responsável pelos cuidados familiares.…”
