Maternal exposure to high levels of magnetic field non-ionizing radiation during pregnancy and the risk of preeclampsia: A large prospective cohort study

摘要

In this prospective cohort study, maternal exposure to high levels of magnetic field (MF) non-ionizing radiation during pregnancy was found to be associated with increased risk of preeclampsia. The observed association showed a dose-response relationship with increasingly higher MF levels being associated with a greater risk of preeclampsia. The presence of other risk factors for preeclampsia appears to exacerbate the risk associated with MF exposure. The finding provides new evidence that MF may impact immunological function.
