Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between standing for long time and physical ap-pearance of varicose vein among barbers, as well as the medical problems associated with long standing. A descriptive analytical design was used to test many demographic variables, namely age, weight, height, period of activity, and daily hours of standing. This was done with the help of a questionnaire that in-volved four domains with 32 questions. The samples included 195 barbers chosen from different cities (Jenin, Nablus and Tollkaram) in Northern West bank. We found that those who stand for long time are 75 percent more likely to have varicose vein. All demographic variable, except for height, were found statis-tically significant: 0.490, 0.281, 0.127, 0.283, and 0.240), according to gamma correlation.
