The repetitive and strenuous nature of meat processing, especially in slaughterhouses, makes employees highly susceptible to developing WMSDs. Prolonged standing, repetitive motions, and forceful actions such as lifting and cutting are common contributing factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to develop models to predict the risk of aggravating WMSDs in slaughterhouse workers using the data mining concept.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were retrieved from an open-source governmental database, and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate them.

The first tree had as the root attribute the change of function due to a health condition (high blood pressure or diabetes), followed by medical leave, working time, change of working place, and age, and the second had the worker's age as the root attribute, followed by working time, sex, and age. The third tree's root attribute was musculoskeletal pain symptoms, followed by working hours, age, and working time. Workers who do not change their roles and are on medical leave for over 1642.5 days present a high risk of worsening symptoms. Working time over 1980 days leads to a high risk of aggravating WMSDs. Females older than 24.5 years and staying more than 1620 days in the same function also presented a high risk of aggravating the WMSDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The machine learning models might help prevent WMSD risk aggravation by sorting the available data set and identifying patterns and relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10519815251329261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T03:04:37Z","timestamp":1745809477000},"page":"3170-3183","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Machine learning models for minimizing aggravation in work-related musculoskeletal disorders among slaughterhouse workers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Hercules Jos\u00e9","family":"Marzoque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Paulista, Department Graduate Program in Production Engineering, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelo Linon","family":"Batista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Bahia-campus Jacobina, Department of Health and Safety at Work, Bahia, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0663-9377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irenilza de Alencar","family":"N\u00e4\u00e4s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Paulista, Department Graduate Program in Production Engineering, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria do Carmo Baracho","family":"de Alencar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo-UNIFESP, Department of Health, Education and Society, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-51549-2_32"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","first-page":"57","volume-title":"Advances in physical ergonomics and human factors.
