These conditions, as well as other work-related disorders, generate costs associated with treatment and work absence, which makes it a growing problem in industrialized countries. Available data from studies on individual populations of workers indicate a higher incidence of certain symptoms in these groups. Due to the lack of studies on the general population, we aimed to perform the preliminary study evaluating the occurrence of pain and work-related conditions depending on the type of occupational work among Polish employees to identify further possible areas for research. Data was collected using an electronic self-administered questionnaire, which was distributed in groups bringing together various professionals. The data obtained from 379 participants have been analyzed and divided according to performed work into sedentary, forced posture, standing, physical and requiring physical activity. Our study reveals a correlation between the frequency of work-related disorders and type of work performed in the Polish population. A significant correlation between the type of occupational work and prevalence of ankle, knee and shoulder pain, as well as heavy legs or upper limb paresthesia was found. According to our findings, female employees may be more vulnerable to lower limb symptoms. A place of residence also seems to affect the prevalence of upper back pain and heavy legs. The analysis also showed a correlation between the occurrence of hip, knee and ankle pain and the level of education of the participants. Surprisingly, lower extremity paresthesia was significantly more common among participants undertaking additional physical activity, compared to non-physically active respondents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20021624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T06:03:30Z","timestamp":1673849010000},"page":"1624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Correlation of Frequency of Work-Related Disorders with Type of Work among Polish Employees"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Kliniec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, 51-141 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Mendowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, 51-141 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrycja","family":"Zuziak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, 51-141 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1371-1659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Sobieski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, 51-141 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3783-0481","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Urszula","family":"Grata-Borkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, 51-141 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"277","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsr.2021.03.011","article-title":"The Management of the New and Emerging Musculoskeletal and Psychosocial Risks by EU-28 Enterprises","volume":"77","author":"Aldasoro","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
