    Occupational arthrosis, particularly coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis, is linked to lower extremity injuries and higher relative body mass, especially in women. These factors significantly increase the risk and development of joint disease in affected workers.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Investigates arthrosis in occupationally disabled individuals.
    • Compares patients with locomotive system diseases and arthrotic changes to a control group with rheumatic complaints.
    • Utilizes questionnaires, clinical examinations, and X-rays for data collection.

    Purpose:

    • To identify risk factors for coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis in occupationally disabled individuals.
    • To analyze the influence of occupation, injuries, and relative body mass on arthrosis development.
    • To understand gender-specific symptom presentation in hip and knee arthrosis.

    Summary:

    • Arthrosis symptoms manifest around age 46, with unskilled and skilled workers showing higher incidence of coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis.

  • Previous injuries are a significant risk factor (37.1% vs. 5.7% in controls).
  • Higher relative body mass (RBM) is a major risk factor, particularly for women, with 90% having RBM >120%.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights occupation and injuries as key risk factors for lower extremity arthrosis.
    • Identifies elevated relative body mass as a critical, modifiable risk factor, especially in women.
    • Provides insights into gender differences in pain perception and objective symptoms of hip and knee arthrosis.
