Lumbar disc disease of occupational origin is presented as a common disease worldwide in the working masses of different economic sectors exposed to biomechanical risk factors, adversely affecting the person as an individual and social, affecting economies different levels.
Objective: The goal with this research was to establish the prevalence of biomechanical risk factors in cases diagnosed with qualified as an occupational disease by the Regional Disability Qualification Board of Meta, in the period from 2011-2014, lumbar disc disease exploring the association between sociodemographic and occupational factors.
Methodology: Descriptive transversal study with retrospective data from medical records of patients with qualified labor source, between 2011 lumbar disc disease - 2014.
Results: The prevalence of biomechanical risk factors was: 94.1% column bending, walking for most of the workday 51.7%, lifting and / or manually depositing objects 53,4%, cargo handling increased 49.2% to 25 kg, whole body vibration over 4 hours 16.9%, being higher in workers of civil works and material handlers with 20.3% in financial services activities with 33.1%, construction 21.2%. Statistically significant association of lumbar disc disease gender and exposure to vibration / impact entire body was found.
Conclusion: Biomechanical risk factors as the position of the spine in bending, lifting and storage of cargo, handling more than 15 kgs weight, body posture walking, exposure to whole-body vibration and time Exposure are key elements to consider in the process of qualification of the origin of lumbar disc disease.
