This volatile occupational environment is thought to contribute to the risk of firefighter musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). However, investigations of firefighter MSDs are limited, and to our knowledge, have not been collectively examined.

Odds of MSD occurrences were positively related to occupational stress and BMI, and negatively related to physical activity engagement; therefore, future investigations can focus primarily on these factors in relation to MSD risk. The establishment of reliable and culturally appropriate MSD report forms among firefighters is warranted as data collected were heterogeneous and not directly comparable.

The significance of other occupational diseases has relatively increased. Occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis (OHP) is mainly caused by allergic reactions to antigens in the workplace. Therefore, the presence of subtle amounts of harmful substances in the environment can increase the risk of developing OHP. Not only organic substances but also inorganic and chemical substances can cause OHP. OHP is caused by a specific antibody reaction to a specific antigen (type III allergy) or sensitized lymphocytes (type IV allergy). Based on the clinical course, OHP is classified into acute and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Acute HP forms granulomas and is classified as a granulomatous lung disease (nonfibrotic HP), whereas chronic HP rarely forms granulomas and progresses to fibrosis (fibrotic HP). Differentiation between chronic HP and idiopathic or collagen vascular disease-related interstitial pneumonia is challenging. Additionally, the genetic background of each patient influences the onset, leading to diverse onset patterns. Antigens and modes of onset are diverse in the workplace. Therefore, diagnosis is difficult, and many patients may be misdiagnosed. Chronic HP with advanced fibrosis due to delayed antigen identification has a poor prognosis. This study aimed to present an overview of the causative antigens, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of OHP to provide appropriate and earliest medical attention.</p>","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144111079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
