Brief Summary  

A study will be conducted to investigate the prevalence and predictors of musculoskeletal health complaints (MHC) among ride-sharing motorbike drivers in Bangladesh, who work in a challenging environment in low-income and middle-income settings. The study will use a cross-sectional design and collect data from 1553 ride-sharing motorbike drivers aged 18 years and above in Dhaka, Bangladesh. MHC will be measured using the musculoskeletal subscale of the subjective health complaints scale. The prevalence of MHC will be computed using descriptive analysis and compared across groups. Regression analysis will be used to identify the predictors of MHC for motorbike drivers. The goal of this study is to provide insights into the musculoskeletal health of outdoor workers in low-income and middle-income countries who work in the ride-sharing industry.
