Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The use of electrical appliances using extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) has increased in the past few years. These ELF MF are reported to be linked to several adverse health effects. However, only a couple of studies have been conducted on the association between risk of tumours and use of electronic devices using low frequency (LF) EMF.

METHODS

We studied the use of common household electrical appliances and suspected risk of tumours in a multi-hospital-based case-control study. In total, 316 patients were included in the final analysis.

RESULTS

The study results showed a below unity risk for most of the devices. A slight increased risk of tumour was observed for computer screen use OR: 1.13 (95% CI: 0.43-3.02) and use of microwave oven OR: 1.21 (95% CI: 0.36-4.04). We also had chance to investigate ELF MFs exposure association with tumour. Where we observed elevated odd ratios in individuals living near electricity transformer stations, with a statistically significant risk OR: 2.16 (95% CI: 1.30-3.59). However, the risk was below unity (OR: 0.98) in individuals residing close to powerlines.

CONCLUSION

The current study serves as a pilot study of primary data and will be helpful in future epidemiological research studies on the topic in the region.

摘要

引言

在过去几年中，使用极低频（ELF）电磁场（EMF）的电器使用量有所增加。据报道，这些极低频电磁场与多种不良健康影响有关。然而，关于肿瘤风险与使用低频（LF）电磁场的电子设备之间的关联，仅进行了少数几项研究。

方法

我们在一项基于多所医院的病例对照研究中，研究了常见家用电器的使用情况以及肿瘤的疑似风险。最终分析共纳入316例患者。

结果

研究结果显示，大多数设备的风险低于1。使用电脑屏幕时观察到肿瘤风险略有增加，比值比（OR）为1.13（95%置信区间：0.43 - 3.02）；使用微波炉时，OR为1.21（95%置信区间：0.36 - 4.04）。我们还研究了极低频电磁场暴露与肿瘤的关联。在居住在变电站附近的个体中，我们观察到比值比升高，具有统计学显著风险，OR为2.16（95%置信区间：1.30 - 3.59）。然而，居住在输电线附近的个体风险低于1（OR：0.98）。
