Abstract (EN): The Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in an occupational context is an important topic to be discussed. There is a lack of information in the scientific literature, especially when dealing with populations of non-athlete workers. Its main objective is to find evidence in the literature of the prevalence of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in non-athlete workers from different economic sectors. This systematic review only uses studies that showed the prevalence of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in non-athlete workers as inclusion criteria. It is considered the population over 18 years old, without gender restriction, healthy or not, diagnosed by physicians based on clinical and/or radiological criteria. Searches were carried out in Scopus, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct, Web of Science, PMC, PubMed, Informaworld and Medline. The last search was in January 2022. The risk of bias in the selected articles was analyzed using the RoB 2.0 tool (Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. It was verified the existence of a variation in prevalence from 1.08% to 34.9% between data collected in different studies. The main limitation of the research was the number of detected studies, only 7. However, this same fact made it possible to highlight the need for more research on populations of workers and demonstrate the general need for more studies in the area. The research is registered in PROSPERO under the number CRD42021276885.
