Ergebnisse (lt. Autor)
Insgesamt wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Exposition bei extrem niederfrequenten Magnetfeldern und der Entwicklung von Brustkrebs bei Frauen beobachtet (OR 1,07; KI 1,02-1,13). Die Analyse der Untergruppen zeigte erhöhte Risiken in der Untergruppe der Östrogen-Rezeptor-positiven Frauen (OR 1,11; KI 1,03-1,20) und der Frauen vor der Menopause (OR 1,11; KI 1,00-1,23) auf. Die Ergebnisse der anderen Untergruppen waren nicht signifikant.
Die Autoren schlussfolgern, dass die Exposition bei extrem niederfrequenten Magnetfeldern mit einem erhöhten Risiko für Brustkrebs, besonders bei Frauen mit Östrogen-Rezeptor-positivem Brustkrebs und Frauen vor der Menopause zusammenhängen könnte.
