BMC Public Health, Sep 2023 Musculoskeletal disorders and injuries (MSDI) are conditions that affect the locomotor system characterized by pain and impairment of functionality. They are the leading cause of years lived with disability. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the return to work (RTW) among workers on sick leave due to MSDI. A longitudinal study was conducted in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, between 2020–2022.
In this study, our objective was to analyze the sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical factors that influence the RTW after sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorder or injury. We identified two factors independently associated with a lower probability of returning to work: age equal or greater than 40 years and the interaction between the perceptions of needing improvement in the physical and psychological domains.
