70 subjects participated including 50 exposed and 20 controls. The exposed group was divided into two subgroups: The "direct exposure group" (n=28) included electrical employees in transformers and power lines and the "indirect exposure group" (n=22) included office workers in place adjacent to electric supply substations. Additionally, the subjects were divided into two groups according to their age (≤ 40 years (n=37) and >40 (n=33)).
