Background Parkinson's disease (PD) has been associated with various workplace factors, but the evidence is inconsistent. Objective To estimate the risk of PD associated with various jobs and work-place exposures. Methods We conducted a population-based, case-control study of 404 incident PD cases and 526 age and sex-matched controls, collecting self-reported work histories including job titles and exposures to various industrial toxicants. Relative risks of PD from these exposures were estimated with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using logistic regression. Results Risk was not significantly affected by farming work, by metal work, or by exposure to pesticides, metals, or solvents. Conclusions: These findings do not provide support for the hypothesis that workplace factors affect the risk of PD. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:217-223, 2010. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
