From the same companies 188 workers without physically demanding tasks served as reference. The questionnaire was used to assess the exposure to pushing\/pulling and other physical risk factors for low back and shoulder complaints. Mean scores at company level were used to classify groups into medium and high exposed to pushing\/pulling and a reference group. Psychosocial factors at work were also assessed. Several pain related questionnaires were used to assess the 12 month prevalence of low back and shoulder complaints in three dimensions: trouble (ache, pain, discomfort), pain intensity, and disability. Prevalence rate ratios (PRs) were calculated using Cox\u2019s proportional hazards regression analysis.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The 12 month prevalence of low back complaints was almost equal for all three groups. The prevalence of shoulder complaints increased with an increase in exposure level. Adjusted PRs showed that the high exposed group had an increased risk for low back complaints compared to the reference group. For all dimensions of shoulder complaints a clear tendency towards a dose\u2013response relation was observed. The high exposed group had significant PRs for shoulder complaints, ranging from 2.09 to 6.37. Generally, psychosocial factors had a confounding effect for pain intensity and disability, but not for trouble.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    For shoulder complaints a dose\u2013response relation was observed for exposure to pushing\/pulling. Low back complaints were less consistently associated with pushing\/pulling. Stronger associations were observed for more severe cases of low back and shoulder complaints. It is hypothesised that work related psychosocial factors affect these associations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.59.10.696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,30]],"date-time":"2002-09-30T17:29:16Z","timestamp":1033406956000},"page":"696-702","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":96,"title":["Pushing and pulling in association with low back and shoulder complaints"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"M J M","family":"Hoozemans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"van der Beek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M H W","family":"Frings-Dresen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L H V","family":"van der Woude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F J H","family":"van Dijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1080\/07408179408966610","volume":"26","year":"1994","journal-title":"IIE Transactions"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-6870(99)00062-9"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00140139508925159"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"757","DOI":"10.1080\/001401398186621","volume":"41","year":"1998","journal-title":"Ergonomics"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.5","first-page":"593","volume":"7","year":"1992","journal-title":"Occup Med"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-198406000-00017"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"699","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-857X(21)00896-6","volume":"16","year":"1990","journal-title":"Rheum Dis Clin North Am"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-8141(99)00006-2"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.9","first-page":"1022","volume":"36","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Occup Med"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.57.7.433"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/0169-8141(93)90034-B","volume":"12","year":"1993","journal-title":"Int J Ind Ergon"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.12","first-page":"2003","volume":"23","year":"2000","journal-title":"Spine"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.54.3.215"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199704150-00010"},{"key":"2024052310592743000_59.10.696.15","unstructured":"Hildebrandt VH, Douwes M.
