OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body structure status, type of work activity, and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among workers in the detergent industry. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 148 industrial workers selected based on inclusion criteria and their medical checkup records. Data collection for the study included a demographic information questionnaire, a body map questionnaire, and an assessment of the workers\u2019 musculoskeletal system conducted by three physiotherapists simultaneously. RESULTS: 54.1% of the participants had a total body structure score classified as poor or fair. The neck region showed the highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (51.4%), followed by the lower back region (35.1%). Significant associations were found between abnormalities in the upper and middle limbs of the body and the prevalence of pain in the right shoulder region (Fisher\/F\u200a=\u200a9.29, P\u22640.05) as well as the intermediate back region (F\u200a=\u200a10.28, P\u22640.01). Office workers experienced a higher prevalence of neck pain than workers in the product line and technical roles, with a statistically significant Odds Ratio (OR) ranging between 2.7 and 6.6 times. Conversely, industrial workers who operate powered machinery showed a higher prevalence of pain in the left shoulder (OR\u200a=\u200a3.93) and left foot (OR\u200a=\u200a4.07). Meanwhile, workers involved in loading and unloading tasks had a higher prevalence of pain in the middle back (OR\u200a=\u200a3.61) and right foot (OR\u200a=\u200a4.5) compared to office workers. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of pain in the right shoulder and middle back may be due to abnormalities in the upper and intermediate body structure. Production line workers reported a higher prevalence of pain in the left shoulder, middle back, and foot compared to office workers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-240118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]],"date-time":"2024-05-24T12:19:13Z","timestamp":1716553153000},"page":"1225-1235","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Investigating
