Among 127 million \u201crecent workers\u201d who worked during the 12 months prior to the survey, 1.47% (95% CI: 1.30; 1.65), or 1.87 million self\u2010reported CTS, and 0.53% (95% CI: 0.42; 0.65), or 675,000, stated that their prolonged hand discomfort was called CTS by a medical person. Occupations with the highest prevalence of self\u2010reported CTS were mail service, health care, construction, and assembly and fabrication. Industries with the highest prevalence were food products, repair services, transportation, and construction. The risk factor most strongly associated with medically called CTS was exposure to repetitive bending\/ twisting of the hands\/wrists at work (OR = 5.2), followed by race (OR = 4.2; whites higher than nonwhites), gender (OR = 2.2; females higher than males), use of vibrating hand tools (OR = 1.8), and age (OR = 1.03; risk increasing per year). This result is consistent with previous reports in that repeated bending\/twisting of the hands and wrists during manual work is etiologically related to occupational carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700270402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,21]],"date-time":"2007-04-21T10:47:48Z","timestamp":1177152468000},"page":"451-470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":116,"title":["Prevalence and Work\u2010Relatedness of Self\u2010Reported Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Among U.S. Workers: Analysis of the Occupational Health Supplement Data of 1988 National Health Interview Survey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Shiro","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deanna K.","family":"Wild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul J.","family":"Seligman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William E.","family":"Halperin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virginia J.","family":"Behrens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vern","family":"Putz\u2010Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","series-title":"Vital and Health Statistics, Series 10, No. 173","volume-title":"Current estimates from the National Health Interview Survey\u20141988","author":"Adams PA","year":"1988"},{"issue":"48","key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Boom in the poultry business brings more worker injuries","author":"Applebome P","year":"1989","journal-title":"New York Times"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.1494"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-112-5-317"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Carpal tunnel syndrome in grocery checkers\u2014A cluster of a work\u2010related illness","volume":"147","author":"Barnhart S","year":"1987","journal-title":"West J Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198105000-00019","article-title":"The acute carpal tunnel syndrome","volume":"156","author":"Bauman TD","year":"1981","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Rel Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02075874"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/14.4.218"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(47)90093-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0363-5023(89)90005-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","volume-title":"Census of Population 1980\u2014Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations.
