Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields can lead to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, report USC researchers in a new study of more than 300 Southern California patients.

Eugene Sobel, professor of preventive medicine and neurology, and his colleagues examined the incidence of moderate to high occupational electromagnetic force (EMF) exposure among Alzheimer's disease patients and controls. The most common highly exposed occupation was sewing machine operators, who are exposed to strong, continuous EMFs over long time periods.

Sobel's group studied patients from the Alzheimer's Disease Treatment and Diagnostic Center at Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center in Downey. The researchers compared occupational history data from Alzheimer's patients with information from a group of control subjects who had been diagnosed with some other kind of cognitive impairment or dementia.
