Extremely low-frequency magnetic field exposure, electrical shocks and risk of Parkinson's disease

Authored By:

van der Mark M, et al

Summary:

This case-control study investigated whether occupational exposure to ELF magnetic fields and electrical shocks are related to Parkinson’s disease. In the study the occupational exposure to ELF magnetic fields and electrical shocks was compared between 444 cases of Parkinson’s disease (diagnosed between 2006 and 2011) and 876 controls. Exposure to ELF magnetic fields and electrical shocks was assessed via a JEM. The authors report no association between ELF magnetic fields and electrical shocks and Parkinson’s disease.
