Understanding the prevalence of chronic health conditions in working miners is an area of active research. Of particular interest is how the health of miners compares to that of workers in other industry sectors with a high proportion of manual labor occupations. By comparing similar industries, we can learn what health conditions may be associated with manual labor and with individual industries. This study analyzes the prevalence of health conditions in miners compared to workers employed in other manual\u2010labor\u2010reliant industries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>National Health Interview Survey public data were analyzed for the years 2007\u20132018. Mining and five other industry groups with a high proportion of manual labor occupations were identified. Female workers were excluded because of small sample sizes. The prevalence of chronic health outcomes was calculated for each industry group and compared to that of nonmanual labor industries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Currently\u2010working male miners showed increased prevalence of hypertension (in those age &lt;55 years), hearing loss, lower back pain, leg pain progressing from lower back pain, and joint pain, compared to nonmanual labor industries workers. Construction workers also demonstrated a high prevalence of pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Miners demonstrated increased prevalence of several health conditions, even when compared to other manual labor industries. Given previous research on chronic pain and opioid misuse, the high pain prevalence found among miners suggests mining employers should reduce work factors that cause injury while also providing an environment where workers can address pain management and substance use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.23483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,3]],"date-time":"2023-05-03T08:49:40Z","timestamp":1683103780000},"page":"692-704","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Health conditions among male workers in mining and other industries reliant on manual labor occupations: National Health Interview Survey, 2007\u20132018"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8705-1107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tashina","family":"Robinson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Spokane Washington USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0976-4133","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aaron","family":"Sussell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Spokane Washington USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2192-5526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenneth","family":"Scott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Poplin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Spokane Washington USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19338244.2014.998330"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.22833"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JOM.0000000000001078"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","volume-title":"Morbidity and Disability among Workers 18 Years and Older in the Mining Sector","author":"Lee DJ","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2190\/JKRE-AH92-EDV8-VHYC"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20973"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.23195"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","unstructured":"BlewettL Rivera DrewJ KingM WilliamsK.
