For each individual, cumulative exposure was calculated from on-site measurements and modelling of past exposure. We compared cause-specific mortality in highly exposed train drivers (mean exposure: 21 \u00b5T) with less exposed occupational groups (for example station masters: 1 \u00b5T). <i>Results:<\/i> The hazard ratio for train drivers compared to station masters was 1.96 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.98\u20133.92] for senile dementia and 3.15 (95% CI = 0.90\u201311.04) for Alzheimer\u2019s disease. For every 10 \u00b5T years of cumulative exposure senile dementia mortality increased by 5.7% (95% CI = 1.3\u201310.4), Alzheimer\u2019s disease by 9.4% (95% CI = 2.7\u201316.4) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by 2.1% (95% CI = \u20136.8 to 11.7). There was no evidence for an increase in mortality from Parkinson\u2019s disease and multiple sclerosis. <i>Conclusions:<\/i> This study suggests a link between exposure to ELF-MF and Alzheimer\u2019s disease and indicates that ELF-MF might act in later stages of the disease process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000108111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,12]],"date-time":"2007-09-12T10:10:05Z","timestamp":1189591805000},"page":"197-206","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Mortality from Neurodegenerative Disease and Exposure to Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields: 31 Years of Observations on Swiss Railway Employees"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Martin","family":"R\u00f6\u00f6sli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"L\u00f6rtscher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Egger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Pfluger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadja","family":"Schreier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emanuel","family":"L\u00f6rtscher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Locher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Spoerri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Minder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00038-006-5096-4"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2F1521-186X%282001%2922%3A5%2B%3C%3A%3AAID-BEM1029%3E3.0.CO%3B2-V"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fenv.3170010110"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF00052944"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF01830265"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Faje%2F153.9.825"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbem.55"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ede.0000129516.92192.60"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00420-004-0541-2"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0010-4825%2887%2990010-2"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Foem.2006.030270"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00008469-200402000-00012"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00001648-200009000-00009"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00001648-200307000-00008"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00002093-200307000-00003"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ede.0000142147.49297.9d"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fajim.20178"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00001648-199807000-00005"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Faje%2Fkwi343"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1289%2Fehp.113-a230"}],"container-title":["Neuroepidemiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/108111","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/108111","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:55:53Z","timestamp":1745463353000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000108111"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000108111","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0251-5350","1423-0208"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0251-5350","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0208","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007]]}}}
