Work Ability Index: Psychometric Testing in Aeronautical Industry
Workers
The Work Ability Index (WAI) is an instrument that measures work ability. The wide
dispersion of the WAI internationally has led to its adaptation for use in different countries. This study
aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the…

Respirable Silica Dust Exposure of Migrant Workers Informing
Regulatory Intervention in Engineered Stone Fabrication
Silicosis among workers who fabricate engineered stone products in micro or small-sized
enterprises (MSEs) was reported from several countries. Workplace exposure data of these workers at
high risk of exposure to respirable crystalline silica…

Importance of an Integrated Assessment of Functional Disability and
Work Ability in Workers Affected by Low Back Pain
This study examines the relationship between functional disability and work ability in
workers affected by low back pain (LBP) through an analysis of correlations between the Oswestry
Disability Index (ODI) and Work Ability Index (WAI). The role of…

Formulations of Job Strain and Psychological Distress: A Four-year
Longitudinal Study in Japan
Different job strain formulations based on the Job Demand-Control model have been
developed. This study evaluated longitudinal associations between job strain and psychological distress
and whether associations were influenced by six formulations…

Development of Korean Representative Headforms for the Total
Inward Leakage Testing on Filtering Facepiece Respirators
The lack of headforms that accurately reflect the head characteristics of Koreans and the
demographic composition of the Korean population can lead to inadequate FFR testing and reduced
effectiveness of FFRs.
Method: Direct measurements of 5,110…

Comparative Study of Heavy Metal Blood Serum Level Between
Organic and Conventional Farmers in Eastern Taiwan
studies have indicated that organic fertilizers (OFer) might contain heavy metals (HMs) that
present health risks to organic farmers (OFar). This study compared the concentrations of six HMs (Zn, Ni,
Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr) in the blood of two distinct…
