“…Those patterns characteristic of depression and anxiety are not associated with stress levels, for which the most significant predictor is the physical distance of the phone from bed during sleep (less than 1 m). Those findings are in line with similar findings from other research [ 23 ]. Current recommendations suggest that the cell phone should be at least three feet away from the body during sleep [ 27 ].…”

“…In addition, we found a pattern that a depressed male student makes fewer calls and browses the internet less frequently on the mobile phone and sends more SMSs. In general, our findings confirm the results obtained by several studies reporting on the relationship between mobile phone use and depression symptoms [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

Objectives: There is insufficient evidence regarding the potential risk of mobile phone use on mental health. Therefore, the aim of this research was to examine the relationship between mobile phone use and mental health by measuring the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among university students in Serbia and Italy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at two distinguished universities in Serbia and Italy from March to May of the 2015/2016 academic year and included 785 students of both genders. The questionnaire was compiled and developed from different published sources regarding the manner and intensity of mobile phone use, along with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 42) for measuring psychological health. The statistical analysis of the data included the application of binary logistic regression and correlation tests. Results: Statistical analysis indicates that anxiety symptoms are somewhat more present in younger students (odds ratio (OR) = 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76–0.96), in those who send more text messages (SMSs) (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.11–1.31), and in those who browse the internet less frequently (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.73–0.95). Stress is more common in students who make fewer calls a day (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.64–0.97), as well in those who spend more time talking on the mobile phone per day (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.12–1.56). The strongest predictor of high stress levels was keeping the mobile phone less than 1 m away during sleeping (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.12–2.08). Conclusions: The results indicated that the intensity and modality of mobile phone use could be a factor that can influence causal pathways leading to mental health problems in the university student population.

“…The exposed inhabitants exhibited a decreased performance in attention and short-term memory tests. Silva, Barros, Almeida, and Rêgo (2015) demonstrated an association between anxiety and depression in individuals who live 100–200 m closer to MPBSTs compared to subjects living 300 m away from MPBSTs. Augner and Hacker (2009) reported that closer the distance to the MPBSTs, greater the radiation and higher the percentage of somatization, anxiety, and phobic nervousness in individuals living near MPBSTs.…”

Mobile Phone Base Station Tower Settings Adjacent to School Buildings: Impact on Students’ Cognitive Health

et al. 2018

The use of mobile phones has remarkably increased and become a basic need of daily life. Increasing subscriptions of mobile phones boost the installation of mobile phone base station towers (MPBSTs) in crowded commercial and residential areas including near school buildings. This study investigated the impact of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) radiation generated by MPBSTs on cognitive functions. Two hundred and seventeen volunteer male students aged between 13 and 16 registered from two different intermediate schools: 124 students were from School 1 and 93 students were from School 2. The MPBSTs were located within 200 m from the school buildings. In School 1, RF-EMF was 2.010 µW/cm2 with a frequency of 925 MHz and in School 2, RF-EMF was 10.021 µW/cm2 with a frequency of 925 MHz. Students were exposed to EMFR for 6 hr a day, 5 days a week for a total period of 2 years. The Narda Safety Test Solution device SRM-3006 was used to measure RF-EMF in both schools, and cognitive functions tasks were measured by the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB). Significant impairment in Motor Screening Task (MOT; p = .03) and Spatial Working Memory (SWM) task (p = .04) was identified among the group of students who were exposed to high RF-EMF produced by MPBSTs. High exposure to RF-EMF produced by MPBSTs was associated with delayed fine and gross motor skills, spatial working memory, and attention in school adolescents compared to students who were exposed to low RF-EMF.

“…Um estudo espanhol 8 , sobre a síndrome das microondas, indicou: Fadiga, distúrbio do sono e dificuldade de concentração foram associados com exposição a Reni/TC, independentemente de variáveis sociodemográficas. Silva 9 , estudando população similar, relatou efeitos na saúde, tais como irritabilidade, palpitação, diagnóstico de ansiedade e de depressão, independente do sexo, escolaridade e tabagismo.…”

“…Uma das observações mais documentadas em estudos epidemiológicos é a maior prevalência de transtornos de ansiedade e depressão em mulheres que em homens 16,21 . Nosso estudo apresentou uma associação entre sexo feminino e seis efeitos neurológicos (cefaleia, fadiga, dificuldade de concentração, lapsos de memória, insônia e tontura (tabelas 2, 3, e 4).…”

A tecnologia de comunicação sem fio, embora produza benefícios à exposição à radiação da telefonia celular, tem aumentado a preocupação da comunidade científica e sociedade em geral devido à possibilidade de efeitos adversos na saúde humana. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a associação entre exposição à radiação eletromagnética não ionizante (Reni) decorrente da estação radiobase de telefonia celular (TC) e sintomas neurológicos na população residente nos bairros do Bonfim e Monte Serrat do município de Salvador/BA. Em um estudo transversal realizado em Salvador/BA, entrevistaram-se 440 indivíduos. Queixas neurológicas constituíram as variáveis dependentes. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística hierarquizada para avaliação de confundimento. Observou-se associação entre sintomas neurológicos e formas de uso do telefone celular (mais de 30 min/dia, com sinal de cobertura fraco, dois ou mais chips e nunca desligar o celular quando dorme) e com uso de outros eletroeletrônicos. A exposição à Reni/TC foi associada aos sintomas neurológicos independente do sexo e escolaridade. Recomenda-se a adoção de medidas precaucionárias no sentido de se reduzir este tipo de exposição. Palavras-chave: Exposição. Radiação não ionizante. Telefonia celular. Sintomas neurológicos.
