At baseline, a cohort of 782 workers free of forearm pain was identified and measurement was made about physical and psychosocial aspects of their job and working environment. Subjects were recontacted after 1 year to determine new onsets of forearm pain. A sample of those reporting new onset forearm pain underwent a structured examination of the upper limb.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One year after baseline, 666 (85%) subjects were followed up. The overall prevalence of new onset forearm pain was 8.3% (n = 55). The strongest mechanical risk factor was frequent repetitive movements of the arm or wrist (odds ratio [OR] 2.9, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.6\u20135.2). The strongest psychosocial risk factors were work considered monotonous at least half of the time (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.6\u20135.7) or work with little autonomy (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.1\u20136.1). Three specific independent risk factors (monotonous work, repetitive wrist movement, working with hands above shoulder level) could distinguish groups of subjects at substantially different risks of onset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Along with repetitive movements of the arms and wrists, mechanical postural factors and psychosocial factors also are important risk factors for onset of forearm pain. Our study emphasizes the multifactorial nature of risks for onset of forearm pain, and provides leads as to possible mechanisms for prevention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.11202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,8,4]],"date-time":"2003-08-04T17:38:31Z","timestamp":1060018711000},"page":"519-525","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Predicting the onset of forearm pain: A prospective study across 12 occupational groups"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth S.","family":"Nahit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stewart","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabelle M.","family":"Hunt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan J.","family":"Silman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary J.","family":"Macfarlane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"Occupation and disease: how social factors affect the conception of work\u2010related disorders","author":"Dembe AE","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681(88)90041-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1411377"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.58.6.374"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.321.7262.676"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2392498"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.54.5.316"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.59.1.5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.55.4.264"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","volume-title":"Epidemiological studies: a practical guide","author":"Silman AJ","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"1378","article-title":"The influence of work related psychosocial factors and psychological distress on regional musculoskeletal pain: a study of newly employed workers","volume":"28","author":"Nahit ES","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"S74","article-title":"Brawn of brain?
