[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 6FCR0x8D. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We explored a postulated association between daily driving time and knee pain. Methods : We used data from the Taxi Drivers'Health Study to estimate 1-year prevalence of knee pain as assessed by the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. Results : Among 1242 drivers, the prevalence of knee pain, stratified by duration of daily driving (6 through 8,>8 through 10, and>10 hours), was 11%, 17%, 19%, and 22%, respectively. Compared with driving 6 or fewer hours per day, the odds ratio of knee pain prevalence for driving more than 6 hours per day was 2.52 (95% confidence interval=1.36,4.65) after we adjusted for socioeconomic, work-related, and personal factors in the multiple logistic regression. Conclusions : The dose-related association between driving duration and knee pain raises concerns about work-related knee joint disorders among professional drivers.
