Those aged between 45-54 and 55+ represented the highest rates, with a similar overall figure for both males and females. However, according to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, there are over 200 types of MSDs affecting 1 in 4 adults. Skilled trade occupations and process/machines operatives had statistically high rates of work-related MSDs. Industries requiring physically active work including agriculture, construction, forestry and fishing, transportation, healthcare and social work demonstrate the highest rates of MSDs.
