In 2002\u20132003, 80 of 400 OPs volunteered to participate. All underwent a training program to standardize the physical examination. Health status was assessed by self\u2010administered questionnaire and physical examination. Occupational risk factors were assessed by self\u2010administered questionnaire. Exposure scores were computed for each anatomic zone by summing the risk factors taken into account by the criteria document.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>More than 50% of the 2,685 men and women randomly included in 2002\u20132003 experienced nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms during the preceeding 12 months and \u223c30% experienced them in the preceeding week. The prevalence of clinically diagnosed MSDs was high: \u223c13% of workers experienced at least 1 of the MSDs. The most frequent disorder was rotator cuff syndrome followed by carpal tunnel syndrome and lateral epicondylitis. The prevalence of MSDs increased with age and varied widely across economic sectors and occupations. More than half of the workers were exposed to at least 2 risk factors of MSDs. Exposure varied according to industrial activity and occupation. According to the criteria document, a high percentage of MSD cases could be classified as probably work related (95% in men and 89% in women age &lt;50, and 87% in men and 69% in women age &gt;50).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nonspecific upper\u2010limb symptoms and specific upper\u2010limb MSDs are common in the working population. These results show the need to implement prevention programs in most sectors to reduce the prevalence of MSDs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.22222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,29]],"date-time":"2006-09-29T16:57:06Z","timestamp":1159549026000},"page":"765-778","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":343,"title":["Epidemiologic surveillance of upper\u2010extremity musculoskeletal disorders in the working population"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Yves","family":"Roquelaure","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette","family":"Leclerc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annie","family":"Touranchet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marine","family":"Sauteron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Melchior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ellen","family":"Imbernon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcel","family":"Goldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs): a reference book for prevention","author":"Hagberg M","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.55.4.264"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.88.10.1447"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.637"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0049-0172(03)00129-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"32","article-title":"Consensus clinique pour le rep\u00e9rage des formes pr\u00e9coces de TMS: troubles musculo\u2010squelettiques du membre sup\u00e9rieur","volume":"63","author":"Meyer JP","year":"2002","journal-title":"Arch Mal Prof"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.320.7244.1240"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.2307\/2392498","article-title":"Job demands, job decision latitude, and mental strain: implications for job redesign","volume":"24","author":"Karasek R","year":"1979","journal-title":"Adm Sci Q"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004200100270"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","volume-title":"Nomenclature des professions et cat\u00e9gories socioprofessionnelles (PCS)","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","volume-title":"Nomenclature des activit\u00e9s et des produits fran\u00e7aise NAF\u2010CPF","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","volume-title":"Tableaux \u00e9conomiques des Pays de la Loire: 2000\u20132001","author":"INSEE Pays\u2010de\u2010la\u2010Loire","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.794"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.79.Suppl.21"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.55.3.180"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.614"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/49.3.171"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.59.1.5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0266-7681(98)80002-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.88.12.1827"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10054"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20052"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10142"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700270402"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_26_2","unstructured":"PaoliP MerllieD.
