Abstract

The current study used Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA) clinical records, State of California pesticide application records, spatial maps of distribution of Parkinson's disease patients, and pesticide applications to determine if there was evidence for "blow-in" of pesticides as a factor in explaining the prevalence of Central Valley Parkinson's disease. The results did not support the hypothesis of increasing prevalence of Parkinsonism attributable to wind drift.

摘要

当前研究使用了退伍军人事务部（VA）的临床记录、加利福尼亚州农药施用记录、帕金森病患者分布的空间地图以及农药施用情况，以确定是否有证据表明农药“吹入”是解释中央山谷地区帕金森病患病率的一个因素。研究结果不支持帕金森症患病率上升归因于风漂移这一假设。
