abstract="BACKGROUND: This study focused on risk factors for serious injuries in farm and ranch operators in the central United States. <br><br>METHODS: The Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, in collaboration with the National Agricultural Statistics Service, sent mail surveys to 6953, 6912, and 6912 farms/ranches in 2011-2013, respectively, covering seven Midwestern states. <br><br>RESULTS: The average survey response rate was 35%. The average annual incidence rate (injuries/100 workers) was 6.91 for all injuries and 2.40 for serious injuries. Univariate analyses determined several demographic and farm production-related risk factors for serious injury. Adjusted analysis showed a greater risk of serious injury for operators of age 45-54 years (vs. 65 and higher), those who worked 75-99% of their time (vs. less time), and those who operated larger land areas (vs. smaller). <br><br>CONCLUSION: The identified risk factors should be considered when targeting injury prevention programs.<br><br>© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
