Work-related musculoskeletal disorder and health risk behaviors in market-vendors: a mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) are frequently observed among market vendors, and engaging in health risk behaviors can exacerbate these issues, leading to various health problems. Common health risk behaviors among market vendors include alcohol consumption and insufficient physical activity. However, there is currently a lack of research examining the prevalence of WRMDs and health risk behaviors among market vendors in Bangkok. Furthermore, the emerging trend of drug misuse within this group remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore the prevalence of muscle pain and flexibility issues and assess health risk behaviors, including alcohol consumption, inadequate exercise, and drug misuse, among market vendors.
