Abstract
This study aims to summarize the literature on the risk factors for the incidence of nonspecific neck pain in industrial workers. Electronic searches were performed in EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science for prospective cohort studies. The methodological quality analysis of the studies was performed through The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The search totaled 25,292 articles, and after threefouran analysis of eligibility criteria, three studies with four articles were included in this review. Of this, three articles presented high methodological quality. In total, 3805 individuals from industrial sectors were analyzed. The physical, psychosocial, and individual risk factors associated with neck pain were high workload, repetitive movements, shoulder elevation above 90°, cervical flexion maintained for more than 75% of the time, weekly stress, weekly task change, high demands for work and low control and females. Women stay away from work longer than men. This systematic review identified physical, psychosocial, and individual factors associated with neck pain incidence in industrial workers.
