Abstract:

This article aims to describe the profile of workers in the municipal public sector in relation to the occurrence of self-reported musculoskeletal pain (MSP). In 2009, a cross-sectional study was conducted in Belo Horizonte that assessed sociodemographic characteristics, functional health status, habits and quality of life, through a self applied questionnaire. We used the Grade of Membership method (GoM) to define the profiles and the degree of belonging to each particular profile. Three reference profiles were identified: worker with pain; worker without pain, non-respondents. Given the reference profiles, the typology of association between work and self-reported occurrence of DME classified 89.9% of the sample. The typology was organized into five profiles: mixed (4.1%); sick worker (12.0%); worker more vulnerable DME (16.9%); worker less vulnerable to DME (22.6%); healthy worker (34.3%). The analysis allowed to clarify the connections between DME and the physical and psychosocial factors at work in the municipal public service, indicating avenues for further reflection on the inequities in musculoskeletal health and occupational vulnerability.
