Women perform different types farmwork have exposures than men. Studies not assessed injury a large group female agricultural operators. In this study, we used XGBoost, machine learning algorithm, logistic regression to examine 17 factors hypothesized be associated with 1529 farm ranch women. sample was split into...

Background Previous studies suggested that hearing impairment based on self-report might increase the risk of agricultural injuries. However, self-reported measures may be subject to inaccuracy and subjective perception. We assessed association injuries with loss other characteristics using measured hearing. Methods Study subjects were 150 farmers who participated in Iowa Certified Safe Farm study. Injury information was collected by telephone interviews at 2–5 month intervals from September...

The aims of this article are to assess injury characteristics and risk factors in theIowa Certified Safe Farm (CSF) program evaluate the effectiveness CSF for reducinginjuries. This intervention includes a health screening, on- farm safety review,education, monetary incentives. Cohorts farmers an group (n = 152) andcontrol 164) northwestern Iowa were followed three-year period. Duringthe follow-up, there 318 injuries (42/100 person-years), which 112 (15/100person-years) required professional...

Abstract Background Previous studies indicate 20% of injuries represent 80% injury costs in agriculture. To help prevent the most costly injuries, we aimed to identify characteristics and risk factors associated with serious injuries. Methods We analyzed insurance records 93,550 self‐employed Finnish farmers. ranked causes by claim cost used multiple logistic regressions for (any) (injuries exceeding €2000). Results A total 5,507 compensated occurred 2002 (rate 5.9/100 person‐years), 1,167...
