Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a collection of symptoms in the human skeletal and muscular systems, characterized by discomfort or pain. The International Labor Organization (ILO) stated that MSDs are the most common health problem among office workers in 27 countries under the European Union. Therefore, this study aims to determine the risk factors for MSDs among office workers. Method: This study used the literature review method by accessing an online database with different keywords, namely "risk factors," "musculoskeletal disorders," and "office workers." Subsequently, 939, 1,421, and 243 articles were obtained from Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed.gov, respectively, resulting in a total of 2,603 articles. The inclusion criteria included papers published between 2011 and 2021, relevant titles and abstracts, primary studies with a cross-sectional design, and full-text availability. Incomplete articles that were irrelevant to the topic were then excluded, resulting in a total of eight articles selected for analysis. Result: Based on the selected articles, the risk factors for MSDs include age, gender, knowledge of ergonomics, work posture, work facilities, duration of work, physical activity, and psychosocial factors in the workplace. Conclusion: The significant risk factors for MSDs include increasing age, female gender, increased work duration, poor knowledge of ergonomics, incorrect work posture, non-ergonomic support facilities, lack of physical activity, and poor psychosocial conditions in the workplace.
