“…A previous study showed that the tasks that required prolonged sitting, standing, and walking led to knee pain (OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.06-5.39) [4]. The squatting position is also associated with knee pain [21].…”

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most significant work-related health conditions that are experienced by agricultural workers. This cross-sectional study has investigated MSDs among agriculturalists in upper northeastern Thailand. We assessed the types of MSDs, their severity, and their frequency. There were 889 cultivating agriculturalists from four provinces who participated in this study. The majority of the participants reported experiencing mild levels of MSDs (60.48%). Predominantly, the farmers who were working on cassava, vegetable, and sugarcane plantations reported experiencing the most severe MSDs in the knees/calves (22.40%). The rice plantation workers reported the largest number of MSDs complaints. The workers on rubber plantations and in sugarcane fields were more likely to feel knee/calf pain (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.05–2.39) and lower limb pain (OR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.35–2.89) than those who were working on rice and tobacco plantations. The individuals who were working on cassava, fruit, vegetable, and corn plantations were also more likely to report knee/calf pain (OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.01–2.17) and lower limb pain (OR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.37–2.84) than those who were working on rice and tobacco plantations. The MSDs that were found among those working on agricultural activities affected many parts of their bodies. The ergonomic risk needs to be assessed in order to inform plantation workers of the implications in order to improve their health and well-being and to reduce the risks of MSDs.

“…The prevalence of low back pain at baseline and after 12 months were 33 and 56%, respectively. Later, Rachmi et al ( 54 ) examined 117 Indonesian dairy farmers in a cross-sectional study in 2017. They found that the prevalence of knee pain was 88%, and this may be associated with the squatting position and the years of work.…”

Background: Risks attributed to chronic diseases, cancer, musculoskeletal discomfort, and infectious diseases among Indonesians were found to be associated with lifestyle behaviors, particularly in rural areas. The aim of this study was to examine the outcomes of a home-visiting lifestyle modification program on improving health risk behaviors among Indonesians living in rural areas.Methods: A total of 160 Indonesians living in rural hamlets in the Yogyakarta Region of Indonesia participated in the program in the period of June 21 to July 21, 2019. In the pre-intervention home interview, learning needs of diet, exercise, hand hygiene, and substance use were identified by using structured assessment tools. In the next home visit, the visitors provided health education and facilitated lifestyle planning based on the related affective and cognitive domains of learning. Subsequent follow-up interviews were conducted 3 weeks after intervention.Results: The results showed that the self-reported intake of vegetables, fruits, meat and salt, cooking with less oil, hand hygiene before eating, number of cigarettes smoked, and symptoms of muscle stiffness significantly improved after the intervention. The lifestyle modification program consisted of the affective and cognitive domains of learning, and could lead to the target behavioral changes in self-reported and observable measures over 1 month.Conclusions: The findings contributed to the framework of community-based health education for health risk reduction and behavioral modification in developing rural communities where health care resources were limited. Further studies with control groups and vigorous objective measures were recommended to elucidate its long-term impacts. The factors leading to its sustainability concerning collaborative care partnerships between community residents and faculty resources are worthy of continued exploration.

Pain in the knee joint occurs due to inflammation of the nociceptor which is a lesion of the tissues in the knee (joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones, and vascular system). This can occur due to excessive use of the knee joint. Pelvic coolies are one of the jobs that require considerable muscle strength and energy as well as strong physical conditions so that they can carry large loads while working. Many cases of joint pain in Indonesia are carried out by workers who have very heavy activities, such as lifting weights that are too heavy, and in the wrong work position. This study aims to determine the relationship between knee joint pain and weight load on pelvic coolies. Observational analytics is the type of research used in this study with a cross-sectional design approach. The number of samples in this study was 97 respondents. In this study, the distribution results were obtained from as many as 7.2% of respondents who carried a load of < 25kg and as many as 92.8% of respondents who carried a load of > 25 kg. In pelvic coolies, there were 2.1% of respondents without complaints of joint pain, 59.8% of respondents with complaints of mild joint pain, 25.8% of respondents with complaints of moderate joint pain, and 12.4% of respondents with complaints of severe joint pain. In the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a p-value of 0.000 was obtained. Conclusion There is a significant relationship between knee joint pain and weight on coolies in the 16 Ilir market in Palembang.
