This research investigates the relationship between body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, heart rate, and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among healthcare workers in Douala, Cameroon. This cross-sectional study by Basil Kum Meh provides valuable insights into health concerns and potential prevention strategies.
The study aims to explore the associations between BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, and the prevalence of WRMSDs among healthcare workers in Douala, Cameroon. Through detailed analysis, the study identifies significant correlations and suggests preventive measures to address these occupational health challenges.
Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are common among healthcare workers, often leading to significant discomfort and reduced productivity. Understanding the relationship between physical health indicators such as BMI, blood pressure, and heart rate can aid in developing effective strategies for managing and preventing WRMSDs.
Objective: To examine the relationship between BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, and the prevalence of WRMSDs among healthcare workers in Douala, Cameroon.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving healthcare workers from selected hospitals in Douala. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and clinical measurements. Statistical analysis was performed to determine correlations between the variables.
Results: The study found significant correlations between higher BMI and increased prevalence of WRMSDs. Elevated blood pressure and heart rate were also associated with a higher incidence of musculoskeletal disorders. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring physical health indicators to prevent WRMSDs among healthcare workers.
Conclusion: There is a notable relationship between BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, and the prevalence of WRMSDs among healthcare workers in Douala. Implementing health monitoring and intervention programs can help mitigate the risk of WRMSDs and improve overall worker health.
