In most countries, agriculture is recognized as one of the most hazardous industries. Investigating the health status of agricultural workers is a challenging goal. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of physical activity and exercise on both farmers’ and non-farmers health status on farm production at selected villages in Bankura district, West Bengal. In this cross-sectional study, certain anthropological parameters were compared between farmers and non-farmers living in the same rural area. Farmers and non-farmers, matched per age and sex, were selected randomly in the agricultural areas of different parts of Bankura. According to personal statements, farmers suffered from several musculoskeletal disorders and joint pains such as waist region, low back pain. BMI, HR, BP were found to be lower among farmers.
