| Popis: | Background Lateral epicondylitis is a common work-related musculoskeletal disorder. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with lateral epicondylitis among active workers. Methods Seven-hundred thirty-three workers in 12 Washington worksites participated in structured interviews, physical examinations, and individual exposure assessments of biomechanical and psychosocial factors. Multivariable logistic modeling was used. Results Thirty-eight subjects (5.2%) had lateral epicondylitis. Age (36–50 years-old), being female, and low social support at work were significant risk factors. Frequency of forceful exertion (≥5 vs. |
