- The objective of this cross-sectional study was to describe and compare self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms, work exposure, lifestyle factors and leisure activities among low- and highly-educated women and men. A questionnaire was sent to 10,000 persons of working age living in one region of Sweden. The results showed that fewer highly-educated men reported musculoskeletal symptoms in all body parts examined compared to lower educated men and all women. Work exposure, lifestyle factors and leisure activities differed greatly between the genders and between women and men with different educational backgrounds. Low-educated women were most physically exposed and had least control at work. Highly-educated men were least exposed to most of the examined work exposures. Lifestyle factors, in the sense of smoking and exercise habits, were more associated with educational category than with gender. However, time spent on home and household work was more specifically related to gender.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present study was to investigate working conditions of gender segregated workplaces and associations of ergonomic exposures with musculoskeletal disorders. Questionnaire data were analysed and presented for women and men separately. Women reported musculoskeletal symptoms more often than men, when working in the same type of segregated workplaces. These results put forward the hypothesis that men and women do different tasks, which also show different working conditions (organisation, psychosocial and physical) for the men and the women in female and male dominated workplaces.
