          RESUMEN. Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) y la asociación con el nivel de estrés en trabajadores del servicio de transporte urbano. Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal con 462 trabajadores de ambos sexos, entre conductores y cobradores. El Cuestionario Nórdico de Kuorinka y la Escala de Estrés Percibido (PSS-14) fueron empleados para evaluar los TME y el nivel de estrés, respectivamente. Resultados: Los TME afectaron principalmente la región lumbar (58,2%) y dorsal (35,7%). El 65,6% tuvo bajo nivel de estrés, el resto alto nivel. Los conductores con alto nivel de estrés tuvieron mayor proporción de TME (p<0,005). Conclusiones: Los TME en trabajadores de transporte son frecuentes, afectan principalmente la región lumbar y dorsal. Los conductores con alto nivel de estrés presentaron mayor proporción de TME. Los TME lumbar y dorsal se asociaron a la edad, estado civil, puesto de conductor, tiempo de servicio y el nivel de estrés.

          ABSTRACT Objectives: To determine the frequency of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and the association with the level of stress in workers of the urban transport service. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with 462 workers of both sexes, between drivers and ticket collectors. The Nordic Kuorinka Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) were used to evaluate the MSD and the level of stress, respectively. Results: MSD mainly affected the lumbar region (58.2%) and dorsal region (35.7%). A 65.6% had a low level of stress, the rest a high level. Drivers with a high level of stress had a higher proportion of MSD (p <0.005). Conclusions: MSD among transport workers are frequent and mainly affect the lumbar and dorsal region. Drivers with a high level of stress presented a higher proportion of MSD. Lumbar and dorsal MSD were associated with age, marital status, driver’s position, length of service, and stress level.
