Abstract: Musculoskeletal disorders and psychological stress are primary drivers of work-related disability. This axis evaluates the integration of functional screening, circadian health, and stress resilience within the Bem Viver institutional framework at Fiocruz Ceará. Workers underwent muscle strength symmetry testing using handheld dynamometry. Additionally, participants were assessed for perceived stress and circadian synchronizers to identify behavioural determinants of biological clock regulation. Results identified clinically relevant strength asymmetry in a substantial proportion of participants, particularly in the lower limbs. Regarding psychosocial health, moderate levels of perceived stress and variability in coping capacity were observed among the group. Sleep quality analysis further revealed heterogeneous patterns and recurrent disturbances, including nocturnal awakenings. These functional and emotional imbalances are addressed through targeted physiotherapy and an educational framework focusing on the core synchronizers of the biological clock. Conclusions: The prevalence of functional asymmetry and stress variability underscores the need for integrated screening in occupational health. By combining objective physical metrics with psychosocial indicators, the Bem Viver Programme provides data-driven interventions to improve muscular balance, recovery, and overall worker resilience.
