PURPOSE: This cohort study aims to examine cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risks among workers in occupations potentially exposed to magnetic fields (MF).
METHODS: Risks for major CVD mortality by potential job-related MF exposure were examined in a sample of U.S. workers from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study using multivariate proportional hazards models.
RESULTS: After adjustment for demographic factors, there were no significant excess risks between individuals with medium (0.15 to <0.20 mu T), high (0.20 to <0.30 mu T), or very high (>= 0.30 mu T) exposure levels as compared with individuals with background exposure levels of MF ( <0.15 mu T) for the CVD mortality outcomes. Indirect adjustment for potential confounding by Current smoking prevalence did not change the pattern of these results.
CONCLUSION: Our Study does not provide evidence for an association between occupational MF exposure and CVD mortality risk.
