TLDR
The estimates of risk showed that high exposure to physical and psychosocial work risk factors increased the risk associated with low-back disorders greater than the sum of the relative independent exposure effects, indicating an interaction effect.

Variables influencing neuropathic endpoints
TLDR
The improved estimates of normal limits sometimes provide a different estimate of normality from the one that was available from age consideration only, and the percentile approach considering physical variables influencing neuropathic endpoints might be adopted by clinical EMG, sensory, and autonomic laboratories.

TLDR
To interpret electrodiagnostic studies of the median and ulnar nerves, age and anthropometric measures must be considered Otherwise, epidemiologic studies will be confounded, and entrapment neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome will be overdiagnosed.
