Sex-differences in the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome: results from a large Ontario, Canada worker cohort
The risk of CTS varied by occupation, industry, and sex in this large cohort. Workers engaged in highly repetitive and forceful manual work were at elevated CTS risk, highlighting the need to further understand and reduce ergonomic hazards among identified groups. Future studies should also explore CTS risk by sex, with a focus on female workers.
