The Impacts of Farm Work on Health: Analyses of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
View through CrossRef
Farmworkers long have been recognized as a disadvantaged group with a wide range of occupationally related health problems. A coherent picture of the major health problems faced by agricultural workers has begun to emerge. This study presents data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) on the effects of ever having participated in farm work on health status. Thus, it provides the first national level perspective on the health of people who have participated in farm work with a focus on Hispanics. People with farm work experience considered themselves to be in worse physical health and had experienced more work–related disabilities than other Hispanics.
