Abstract
This study was carried out to elucidate the causes of farmer¡¯s disease and greenhouse disease in the rural area of Kyungnam province during 1996. 2.171(69.1%) of the 3.140 adults above 20 years old who had lived in the selected 20 villages in Uiryong County of Kyungnam Province were selected in order to cover both residents who live in the green house distrcts and conventional rural area. @ES The results were as follows : @EN 1. Among the subjects, the male was 42.2% and female was 57.6%. The average age for the male was 52.3, 55.6 for the female. 2. The proportion of the farmers in the subjects was 81.5 %. Among these 78.0% were engaged in the greenhouse farming. 3. Among the eight symptoms of Nofusho(japanese farmer¡¯s comples), lumbago was the most frequenntly complained and followed hy shoulder stiffness and parasthesis of hand or foot. 4. The total score of farmer¡¯s disease was evidently hihger in the female and the older the score was clearly bigger. 5. The prevalence of Nofusho(Japaneses farmer¡¯s compes) was 26.8% and 43.15 % was for the suspected Nofusho. In the male, the prevalence of Nofusho was 13.6% and 40.9 % for the suspected Nofusho and in the female, 36.5 and 44.7% were shown, comparatively. 6. According to the multiple classification analysis, sex, age, and occupation were selected as significant variables to exploin the total score of Nofusho. 7. The correlationships between the total score of Nofusho and the number of sick day, working years, and age were significant, comparatively. 8. According to the multiple classification anlysis corolling interaction between independent variables, age was the only variable which was significant in the male and age, pesticide work in the female. 9. The score of greenhouse disease was highest in the group who engaged in greenhouse farming and conventional farming(2.76 for male, 3.77 for female) followed by the group who engaged only in greening house farming(2.66 for male, 3.49 for female) and by the group who engaged only in conventional farming(2.27 for male, 3.05 for female). 10. According to the multiple classification anlysis with the total score of greemhouse disease as dependent variable, corolling interaction between independent variables, are and pesticide work were revealed as significant variables in the male, while, pesticide work and farming type were significant in the female. Accoding to the above results, the following could be suggested. Because lumbago, shoulder stiffness, paresthesia of hand and foot wete the most frequently complained symptoms in the respondent, the development of farming tool to reduce the body burden and periodical physical exercise and rest is highly recommended. It is revealed that both in the farmer¡¯ disease and greenhouse disease the score was higher in the female than in the male. So the reasonables measures is recomended to reduce the working hours of the female. Pesticide work was revealed as the significant variable in the female in farmer¡¯s disease and both in the male and the female in greenhouse disease. So the development of the safe method of pesticide spraying including safety education should be inttoduced. Particulary the female should be excluded in pesticide spraying
