Abstract
The primary hypothesis was that musculoskeletal disorders were much more common in older workers than in younger ones. A questionnaire was answered by 1565 shipyard workers at a health check-up. We also scrutinized diagnoses from the health centre at the shipyards. The work load of each occupation was independently estimated in three degrees, low, moderate and heavy. There was no obvious relation between musculoskeletal disorders and age. However, there was as excepted a strong relationship between work load and symptoms or medical diagnoses. The data indicated no strong correlation between musculoskeletal disorders from different organs.
