摘　　要：Work-related diseases can have health consequences including stress- and mental health-related disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and cancer and skin complaints due to exposure to biological agents. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of work-related diseases among bank employees and the independent risk factors for these diseases and to highlight measures that can be taken to prevent the occurrence of such diseases, to improve holistic health, and to raise awareness about work-related disease. Data were collected during face-to-face interviews (n = 796) in the recruitment phase of an international public bank in Istanbul, Türkiye or during periodic examinations in the bank between 2017 and 2019. Data, including socio-demographic characteristics, medical anamneses, physical examination results, laboratory findings, occupational accidents, and occupational disease frequency data, were retrospectively examined, and the results were statistically evaluated. Data were analyzed using the SPSS Statistics 17.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) package program. Results were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Age, female gender, dust exposure, vibration in the workplace were found to be significantly associated with musculoskeletal disorders, while age and work-related noise was found to be related to digestive system problems and dust exposure had significant relation with psychiatric disorders. Work-related diseases among bank employees are a priority that should be addressed by all relevant authorities to enable people to lead healthy lives in physical, mental, spiritual, and social terms.Work-related diseases can have health consequences including stress- and mental health-related disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and cancer and skin complaints due to exposure to biological agents.
