“…Similarly, a Danish study of workers in utility companies found no association between exposure to magnetic fields and hospitalization due to PD [395]. A US study combined occupational and industry codes with JEM to assess exposure to magnetic fields [396]. For the highest category exposure versus the lowest according to the JEM, the OR …”

“…Conversely and in contrast to the data presented by the aforementioned studies, there has also been evidence presented which does not support the proposition that aboveaverage levels of ELF-MF are related to the onset of AD (Johansen, 2000;Noonan et al, 2002). Similarly, Sorahan and Mohammed (2014) also failed to establish a statistically significant trend associated with risk of AD mortality and increased ELF-MF exposure either over recent or primary occupations, or over a lifetime occupation in a cohort of UK electricity supply workers.…”

“…A meta-analysis study also failed to report any association between MF and PD (Vergara et al, 2013). Conversely, a positive association was observed in three separate methods of exposure assessment performed within one study (Noonan et al, 2002).…”

“…Conversely, the results from studies which used the job exposure matrices (JEMs) to estimate MF exposure have been less consistent. Two studies reported ALS was not associated with ELF-MF exposure at any level (Noonan et al, 2002;Feychting et al, 2003), but both studies did in fact report significant associations of ALS attached with a history of workers in electrical professions, (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.29-4.09) and (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.9)…”

Parkinson's disease and occupational exposures: a systematic literature review and meta-analyses by Gunnarsson L-G, Bodin L Contrary to previously published meta-analyses in this field, our meta-analyses are based only on studies fulfilling good standards of scientific quality. Thus the results of this review are not hampered by biases from studies of lower scientific quality and are also discussed in relation to today's knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms for Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism. Affiliation 197Review Scand J Work Environ Health. 2017;43(3):197-209. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3641 Parkinson's disease and occupational exposures: a systematic literature review and meta-analyses GRADE guidelines were used to ensure high scientific quality, and reliable guidelines were applied to classify the papers. Of the 103 articles, 47 fulfilled good scientific standards while 56 were methodologically deficient and thus excluded from our meta-analyses.Results A total of 23 publications concerned work exposure to pesticides. The weighted relative risk estimate was 1.67 (95% confidence interval 1.42-1.97). A funnel plot and bias test indicated that some publication bias concerning smaller studies might have been present. The risk estimate was not influenced by study design (casecontrol, cohort, or cross-sectional study) or gender. Higher estimates were found when there was a hereditary taint or onset below age 60. Studies on exposure to metals or electromagnetic fields did not show increased risk. ConclusionsUsing an elaborated quality protocol, there is now strong evidence that exposure to any pesticide involves a ≥50% increased risk for developing Parkinson's disease.
