Musculoskeletal Health Problems Among Kuwaiti Fishermen: What Do Statistics Say?


Abstract


Fishing is a physically and mentally demanding profession, often charac- terized by challenging working conditions. This study aims to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among Kuwaiti fishermen and identify the contributing factors, focusing on spine injuries. Using a cross-sectional survey approach and the Whole-Body Vibration Questionnaire, we collected data from a random sample of Kuwaiti fishermen. The statistical analysis examined various aspects of musculoskeletal pain, including lower back, neck, and shoulder pain. The study yields valuable insights and recommendations to address Kuwaiti fishermen’s health problems.
