Assessing the Link Between Physical Activity and Musculoskeletal Disorders in Taxi Drivers: A Comparison of Accelerometry and Self-Report Measures.

Taxi drivers exhibit high MSD prevalence, extreme sedentary exposure, and marked overestimation of PA in self-reports. Neither self-reported nor accelerometer-measured physical activity was significantly associated with 7-day MSD prevalence. Targeted interventions should combine ergonomic improvements, active breaks, and accurate monitoring tools to reduce occupational health risks.
