Abstract

The aim of investigation was to evaluate the effect of two occupationally conditioned variables, body posture at work and commuting conditions, on the course of pregnancy. The population under study consisted of 246 pregnant women from Zagreb, 145 of whom were on sick leaves during pregnancy, and 101 had normal pregnancies. Results showed that body posture an work was not significantly related to the rate and duration of sick absences, complications in previous pregnancies or premature labour. No significant relationship, likewise, was established between the means and time of commuting and morbidity in pregnancy, length of sick leaves, the rate of spontaneous abortions and the onset of premature labour pains.
