  1. The association between noise, whole body vibrations, sunlight and heat exposures, and health effects among MFDRs was identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for confounders, including asex, age, working hours per day, work shift and PM2.5 and b sex, age and working hours per day. * Significant association at p < 0.05 ** Highly significant association at p < 0.001
