TI  - Prevalence and Work-Related Factors Associated with Lower Back Musculoskeletal 
      Disorders in Female Shellfish Gatherers in Saubara, Bahia-Brazil.

AB  - Lower back musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are an important public health 
      problem and the leading cause of disability worldwide, but with yet unknown 
      prevalence among shellfish gatherers. To investigate the prevalence and 
      work-related factors associated with lower back MSD in a population of female 
      shellfish gatherers, an epidemiological cross-sectional study was carried out in 
      Saubara, Bahia-Brazil, in 2013. The Brazilian version of the Job Content 
      Questionnaire (JCQ) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), in 
      addition to a questionnaire containing the physical demands adapted to the 
      artisanal work, were applied to a random sample of 209 female shellfish 
      gatherers. The prevalence of lower back MSD was 72.7%. Using multivariate 
      logistic regression, the shellfish gatherers who had worked for more than 26 
      years in the activity showed a prevalence of 1.22 (95% CI: 1.04(-)1.44) times 
      higher compared to those unexposed. Lower back MSD was 1.24 (95% CI: 1.08(-)1.42) 
      times higher among those more exposed to work sitting with trunk flexion. Those 
      performed manual handling and muscle force with the arms had a prevalence ratio 
      of 1.18 (95% CI: 1.01(-)1.39). These results show the need for greater awareness of 
      health and social welfare factors impacting workers in small-scale fisheries and 
      will promote the elaboration of health care policies for this occupational class.
