Characteristics of Crashes With Farm Equipment That Increase Potential for Injury
Context: Crash fatality and injury rates are higher on rural roadways than other roadway types. Although slow‐moving farm vehicles and equipment are risk factors on rural roads, little is known about the characteristics of crashes with farm vehicles/equipment. Purpose: To describe crashes and injuries for the drivers of farm vehicles/equipment and non‐farm vehicles involved in an injury crash. Passengers are not included in this analysis. Methods…
Risk Factors for Animal‐related Injury Among lowa Large‐livestock Farmers
Context: Although farmers are at risk for injuries from contact with large livestock, few previous studies have examined risk factors for animal‐related injuries. Purpose: This case‐control study, nested in the Agricultural Health Study, aimed to assess risk factors for animal‐related injury among lowa large‐livestock farmers. Methods: A screener questionnaire sent to 6999 farmers identified 116 farmers with large livestock who had an animal‐rela…
Health Risk Factors Among Iowa Farmers
This study compares the prevalence of the health risk factors for chronic disease and injury among farmers with their prevalence among other workers, using data from the lowa Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System From January 1999 to December 1999, there were 3,620 adults who participated in the survey This report focuses on the 2,140 subjects who reported they were working We calculated the percentage with each health risk factor, the adjus…
Occupational injuries among older workers with disabilities
OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that among older workers, disabilities in general, and hearing and visual impairments in particular, are risk factors for occupational injuries. METHODS: Using the first 2 interviews of the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative survey of Americans aged 51 to 61 years, we conducted a prospective cohort study of 5600 employed nonfarmers. RESULTS: Testing a logistic regression model developed i…
Risk factors for occupational injuries among older workers
OBJECTIVES: This study examined risk factors for occupational injury among older workers. METHODS: We analyzed data on 6854 employed nonfarmers from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a population-based sample of Americans 51 through 61 years old. RESULTS: Occupational injuries were associated with the following: the occupations of mechanics and repairers (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27), service personnel (OR = 1.68), and laborers (OR = 2.18); jobs …
