“…The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) is high among workers, with the 12 month prevalence as 92% [2]. However, there are a number of under-investigated groups, including subgroups of the agricultural [3][4][5], science [6], health [7,8], and catering [9] industries, as well as musicians [10].…”

The authors aimed to characterize the current evidence base regarding musicians' musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS), in order to identify gaps for future research. A systematic search was conducted to identify peer-review studies published in English in 2007-2016 that investigated musicians' MSS. Narrative reviews, case reports, protocols, and questionnaire or program development papers were excluded. Data were synthesized descriptively in order to identify gaps in the current evidence base. Five systematic reviews and 153 primary studies (133 unique) were included in this review. The majority (71%) of studies investigated professional musicians and/or university music students, with orchestral musicians being the most commonly investigated group. The majority of studies investigated the extent of the problem (68%) and/or associated factors (54%). Eight studies compared the prevalence of MSS outcomes with other populations. A range of risk factors were investigated; however, few studies used longitudinal designs. A total of 16 intervention studies were identified (3 clinical, 13 public health), with 12 investigating education or exercise programs. There is a need for research into musicians beyond classical university music students and professional orchestral musicians, and these musical subgroups should be compared to determine the most at risk groups of musicians. Studies looking at potential risk factors should move towards longitudinal designs so that the temporal relationship of these factors and MSS could be established, where cross-sectional designs have indicated that an association exists. Intervention studies should be based upon the risk factors identified, and extend beyond education and exercise programs.

“…Sustainability of production and consumption are considered both as very important issues. With the increasing consciousness in our society, occupational health and safety has gained importance, as a consequence of recent accidents in big companies (Hofmann et al, 2017;Stanhope et al, 2017).…”

“…Agriculture is one of the most dangerous businesses in terms of illness and premature deaths, and beekeepers face some of this health and safety risks (Stanhope et al, 2017). In order to ensure that everyone involved in the beekeeping activity can work safely, the risks and hazards need to be identifiable and manageable.…”

Beekeeping activity implies a series of intensive processes and a variety of risks. After examining studies on beekeeping activity, it became obvious that beekeeping risk factors and beekeeping health studies are quite limited throughout world. This study aimed to reveal the possible effects of this activity on beekeepers health and to bring recommendations to be applied during practice. The beekeeper is often exposed to adverse effects such as mechanical and physical difficulties, environmental and climatic conditions: high temperature, time related stress, colonies transfer stress, insomnia, bee venom and smoke exposure during production activities. Any disadvantages that might occur in an environmentally friendly production context can be attributed to possible disruptions, injuries, psychological disorders and/or occupational accidents. The difficulties of living away from home and an irregular diet are constantly placing beekeeper’s health under pressure. The difficult process of bringing bee products to the table, influences on beekeeper’s health. In this production process, the beekeeper must make proof of his own health as well. Despite the reduction of labour force and risks through modern tools and equipment support in the developed countries, there are multiple risks in every stage of honey production, which is dependent on natural conditions. The results of the present research should bring awareness on the subject of beekeepers health and establish grounds about occupational health and safety in beekeeping activities.

“…Beekeep ng constitutes health risks for beekeepers and living people near hives. Although there are various negative health consequences, no systematic review has been carried out (Stanhope et al, 2017). The colonies are transferred to flora regions in order to get benefit from floral sources in the world.…”

Beekeeping has an economic importance in crop production and animal production. The health of the beekeepers has been faced with many various risks due to beekeeping managed under the influence of environmental, climatic conditions, the effect of psychological, physical, and mechanical difficulties. In this study, it was investigated whether beekeepers take care of their own health and some other risk factors affecting their health were evaluated. The data was collected from 12 districts of the province of Izmir in Turkey and obtained face-to-face method with 175 beekeepers. The socioeconomic characteristics and the health risk factors of beekeepers were investigated in this study. The average age of the beekeeper was 54.45 called as "middle age" group. 52% of beekeepers-predominantly migrant-had over 20 years of experience in beekeeping. Approximately 90% of beekeepers had social security. It was determined that 77.1% of the beekeepers were not affected by cold working conditions and falling danger, 83.4% of them had not allergic reactions on the skin, and 7% of beekeepers did not encounter physical difficulties. Besides, 22.3% of the beekeepers used alcohol, 56% had cigarette smoking and only 6.3% of them had health problems. In addition, 83% of the beekeepers knew their blood groups. As a result, it was observed that all of the beekeepers in research took care of their health by taking all necessary cautious. The result of this study shows that the health of beekeeper is very important for beekeeping activity.
