Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and their association with the work-related characteristics among university teachers in Taiwan: A cross-sectional survey
The overall prevalence of WMSDs is high among university teachers. Work-related factors significantly associated with regional WMSDs included having an average of only one day off per week and prolonged periods of sitting. Findings warrant the attention of policy-makers in developing preventive measures targeting these factors to reduce the burden of WMSDs.
