abstract="AIMS: The economic burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) is industry-specific.The objective was to analyse compensation claims for WMSDs among restaurant workers in France taking into account the type of restaurant. <br><br>METHODS: Data for 2014 were obtained from the French National Health Insurance Fund for Salaried Workers. A chi-square test was used to compare claims, incapacity and lost work days rates in different type of restaurant. <br><br>RESULTS: Prevalence for WMSDs, differed significantly by the type of kitchens: collective restaurant (7.2/1000 workers), traditional restaurant (1.7/1000), and fast food restaurant (1.0/1000). There were more male claimants in traditional (51.0%) than in collective restaurant (40.1%) but more female claimants in collective (50.1%) than in traditional restaurant (39.4%). Permanent incapacity was significantly more prevalent in collective (49.6%), than in traditional (41.9%) and fast food (8.5%) restaurant workers. In collective restaurant workers, in percentage, claims, permanent incapacity and lost work days increased with age range or work experience. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence for WMSDs and therefore incapacity and lost work days are different according to the type of restaurant. Preventive strategies should take these differences into consideration.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
