OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of health disorders among computer professionals and its association with working environment conditions. STUDY DESIGN: Cross sectional. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sample size of 200 computer professionals, from Delhi and NCR which included software developers, call centre workers, and data entry workers. RESULT: The prevalence of visual problems in the study group was 76% (152/200), and musculoskeletal problems were reported by 76.5% (153/200). It was found that there was a gradual increase in visual complaints as the number of hours spent for working on computers daily increased and the same relation was found to be true for musculoskeletal problems as well. Visual problems were less in persons using antiglare screen, and those with adequate lighting in the room. Musculoskeletal problems were found to be significantly lesser among those using cushioned chairs and soft keypad. CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of the computer professionals were found to be having health problems and this denotes that the occupational health of the people working in the computer field needs to be emphasized as a field of concern in occupational health.
