Abstract

- In ergonomic epidemiology exposure to local loads as well as cardiovascular load may contribute to general and local fatigue and musculoskeletal disease. Self-reported exposure is often the only feasible method in large population studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively self-reported physical activity and perceived exertion as estimates of cardiovascular load during occupational work. The study population consisted of 39 men, representing 25 different occupations, and 58 women, representing 28 occupations. Ratings of physical exertion (RPE scale) and physical activity (Edholm scale transferred to multiples of the basal metabolic rate, METs) at the end of a work shift were correlated with the average heart rate during the same work shift. In the male population, both RPE ratings and METs correlated significantly (P < .01) with the average heart rate. No such correlation was observed in the female population.
