An Epidemiological Study of the Relationship Between Occupations and Acute Herniated Lumbar Intervertebral Discs
Abstract
A case-control study of the epidemiology of acute herniated lumbar intervertebral discs in the New Haven, Connecticut, area indicates that sedentary occupations increase the risk for herniated lumbar discs, particularly among those aged 35 years and older who have had sedentary jobs for several years. People in occupations requiring prolonged driving of motor vehicles, such as truck drivers, appear to be at particularly high risk. The results of this study provide no evidence that people whose jobs involve heavy manual labour are at greater risk for acute herniated lumbar disc than others of their age and sex.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
