In all walks of society, people struggle with their dreams for their lives, yet some high-risk occupations are hidden from the workers in the shadow of rheumatism. Understanding the linkages and protecting against them are key to safeguarding the health of these workers.
Farmers working in agriculture, uncles of spring and autumn harvests, are often accompanied by humid land, dew and, during the rainy season, are in a high-moisture environment. The cold and damp air penetrates the body through clothing, which perpetuates the arteries. More than 70 per cent of those affected by rheumatological arthritis in rural areas have experienced drying and warming after long periods of field labour. In addition, fishers are out of the sea, with high winds and humidity at sea, long hours of operation on inverted vessels, constant pressure on their health joints and a high risk of disease due to a lack of a stable warmer environment.
The white collars, who sit long in their offices, appear to be far from the hard work of manual labour, and face different risks. All day in front of a computer, for hours at a time, the blood circulation of the body is like a slow stream, especially the lower limbs. In the long term, this is the case with inadequate nutrition of the joints, combined with the cooling of office air conditioners, frequent temperature differentials of over 10°C in and out of the room, over-resilient human modulation systems, muscle stress, high induction of fibrous pain syndrome, and pain on the neck and waist of the neck, which becomes a “coding” of the office.
In addition, medical personnel, particularly surgical nurses and surgeons, stand for long periods of time during surgery, are highly concentrated, remain in a fixed position and experience constant stress on their joints. Frequent night work disrupts the biological clock, affects the normal rhythm of the immune system and weakens resistance. Also, the hospital environment is unique, with the volatilization of chemical substances, such as disinfectant water and cleaning agents, and long-term inhalation may stimulate the respiratory and immune systems, place an ambush for self-immunisation disorders and increase the incidence of diseases such as rheumatism.
In the face of these occupational risks, there is an urgent need for protection. Farmers and fishermen must dry their bodies before and after work, replace dry and dry clothes, wear waterproofing, heating equipment, work spaced with multiple activity joints, and take extra wet foods, such as bean and red beans, into their daily diet. White collars are expected to develop a regular rise and move at least 3 – 5 minutes per hour, to perform simple stretching, to regulate the air conditioner temperature, to provide for a warm cape, knee protection and protection against temperature differentials and prolonged sitting. Medical personnel are required to rationalize the rotation, reduce the length of continuous operations, which are carried out with humanly appropriate shoe pads, protective gear, reduce the burden of joints, improve ventilation in the work area and dilute harmful chemical gases.
Careers give meaning to our lives, but they should not be accompanied by the pain of disease. The high-risk occupational groups can only strengthen their awareness of protection measures and integrate them into their daily lives so that they can work beyond the limits of their hard work, so as to be free from the effects of rheumatism and immunisation, and so that they can write in a healthy and healthy manner about their careers.
