Danish Register Study Links Forward Bending at Work to 36% Higher Miscarriage Risk per Hour

Observational Danish register cohort of 475312 women found each hour of occupational forward bending linked to 36 percent higher miscarriage risk with weaker walking associations. Limitations include missing confounder data and hospital-only miscarriage capture. Evidence remains associative requiring prospective ergonomic trials for confirmation.

Future interventional studies randomizing ergonomic modifications or reduced bending hours in high-exposure jobs are required to test whether risk reductions occur and to inform regulatory thresholds within the next two years.

Danish Working Environment Authority: No formal bending guideline issued within 24 months of publication.
