People in working age are exposed to both aging and work effects. How can be determined if the body damage is by aging or occupationally acquired?

Lumbalgia is one of the most common multifactorial disease claimed to be adquired by occupational hazzard. Etiology of lumbalgia never is pure, never is alone, degenerative changes will be present still in a occupationally adquired situation. But ethiology can be shared and occupational exposure to efforts in spine can modify the natural evolution of aging. Then, is take it as one, occupationally adquired disease. What do you think about this criteria?

simply by search over the data base to see the incidence and prevalence of this injury among the  same age regardless of occupation, and among workers of the same occupation regardless of age , if the rate is higher among the same age only , this injury mostly is age related , but if this injury affect any worker of any age this will tell this is occupation related injury.

Bodily damages due to aging is dependent on their heridity (family illness history), and it is mostly gradual. But occupationally acquired damages fasten the causes of aging. Medical assessment should be done before joining any organization and continuous assessment of health (at least twice a year).

It all depends on the severity of the injury one can have. The more we get older the more we get fragile is a myth as one can get injurred even if he is young. The type and severity of the injury depends on various factors like period of exposure, following safety principles, implementation of the SOPs. However it is also better to consult a certified practitioner during various stages to have an idea of the injury you might get.

I DONT AGREE TO THIS CONCEPT, AS NOW A DAYS EVEN YOUNG PEOPLE ARE HAVING MORE SEVIOR MEDICAL PROBLEMS IN COMPARISION TO THE MIDDLE AGE OR OLD AGE PEOPLE.

SO IT DEPENDS ON PERSONAL HEALTH CARE SCHEDULES AND DIET PLANS IN DAILY LIFE.

HOWEVER LIFE CYCLE IS ALREADY BEING REDUCED DUE TO POOR FOOD INTAKES, TIME SCHEDULES , UNFIT OUTTINGS & UPSET  SLEEP'S AND ENJOYMENTS.

AGEING AND OCCUPATIONAL EFFECTS LEADS TO DEGENERATIVE ISSUES BUT TO FIND IT WE HAVE TO ASSESS A GROUP OF PEOPLE OF SAME AGE WORKING IN THE SAME PATTERN OF WORK AND FIND OUT THE HEALTH HAZARDS AND HEALTH ISSUES ARISING DUE TO THE WORK AND A REMEDY IS TAKEN AND PROVISIONS ARE MADE TO REDUCE THE INJURIES.SO BETTER ASSESSMENT OF PLACE OF WORK,PATTERN OF WORK AND ON WHICH BODY PARTS THE PRESSURE IS IMMENSE IS NOTED AND REDUCED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
