st age group to have more problems with muscle and bone pain. Converso musculoskeletal disorders among preschool teachers 81
et al. (2015), who examined differences between first and second age educators
in psychophysical health, found that first age educators are more likely to com-
plain about milder forms of MSDs.
Conclusions
A synthesis of the results directs us to consider the reasons for an increase in
the presence of MSD among educators. Further research and comparisons in
relation to the rise of MSDs in comparable occupations are necessary. It would
make sense to research what is known about preventive measures and their de-
gree of compliance.
