If living near a golf court seems picturesque and comfortable views, it may also be associated with greater risks to Parkinson's disease, according to a sudden new study that comes with some restrictions.
Under the Parrow Neur Institute in Arizona, along with Mayo Clinic, the study found that the largest danger was found among those who live three miles from the golf course.
The author of the Fox News Digital Study said, “The most powerful monuments were in the municipal water services areas with a golf course and in areas with weak groundwater on the basis of basis and topography.”
These results indicate that pesticides applied to golf courses may play a role in the occurrence of PD [Parkinson’s disease] The researchers concluded in the study, published in the Jama Open.
The study of control of cases has analyzed data from 419 Parkinson's patients with an average of 73 years and live near 139 golf stadiums in southern Minnesota and West and Yiston.
Then they made comparisons to control data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project from 1991 to 2015.
“We had accurate data on the golf stadium sites, and we could determine the source of the individual's drinking water accurately – whether it was municipal water or private well water,” Kerzanovsky pointed out.
The study found that living one mile from the golf course had been associated with 126 % of the chances of developing nervous disease compared to living more than six miles away.
People who live near the water service areas with a golf course had nearly twice the risk of Parkinson's infection compared to individuals in water service areas without golf court.
Those who live in water service areas with a golf course in weak groundwater areas have 82 % higher risk, according to the results.
(Weak groundwater is more likely to pollution than human activities and environmental factors.)
Kurzanovsky pointed out that the associations remained even after the amendment of researchers for age and income, indicating that there may be something more than the population composition that leads the relationship between the nearby golf field and the risk of Parkinson's disease.
She said: “We expect pesticide pesticides to play a role. However, we have not included data on pesticides in this study, so future research is needed to understand what is going on better.”
Dr. Mary Ann Bacon, Medical Director of the MS Center at the Holy Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey, did not participate in the study but participated in her opinion on the results.
“There was often a discussion about the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and environmental factors such as pesticides,” she told Fox News Digital.
“More research is needed with larger groups of patients, but this study increases anxiety about the relationship between exposure to pesticides and the risk of Parkinson's, especially within a radius of three to three miles, groundwater and weakness well.”
She added that mobile exposure to pesticides was also a worker.
Possible restrictions
The main restriction of the study is that the amount of exposure that each person receives, according to Dr. Rudolfo, a Mayo Clinic neurologist and a great author of the study.
“Unfortunately, there are many other aspects that can interfere with the development of a disease,” Fox News Digital told Fox News Digital.
“Nevertheless, we are doing our best to think and adjust any possible additional information, but sometimes it's not possible.”
The study was limited to a hot and moist summer area, specifically from the south of the state of Minnesota and West and Yistons, where the golf courses may have applied pesticides with more frequency compared to other geographical regions.
“Therefore, our results may not be circulated to other areas,” I noticed.
Bacon noted that other risk factors in Parkinson, such as the history of head shock and genetic willingness, have not been calculated.
KrZyzanowski also pointed out that Parkinson's disease is developing after several decades of exposure, and thus the study aims to estimate exposure for a long time.
She said: “If the pesticides are involved, then it will be the one that has been sprayed long ago and this may be different from what is sprayed today.”
Picone agreed that, as this study looked at 2013, it is possible that the different pesticides used before 2013.
“However, this study provides evidence of a relationship between living in a golf course, exposure to groundwater water and the risk of Parkinson's development, and raises anxiety and need for a larger sample research from the population,” participated with Fox News Digital.
KrZyzanowski added that since this was a observation -based study, researchers could not conduct causal conclusions on the results.
“If you are worried about exposure of any kind, you should consult with your doctor,” I advised.
Industry speakers respond
A spokesman for the Association of Golf America, based in Lawrence, Kansas, presented a statement to Fox News Digital in response to the study.
“Public health experts and researchers who reviewed the study noted that the systematic restrictions of the study make it difficult to extract conclusions from data. The authors of the study also noted, the role of exposure of pesticides from golf courses in Parkinson's disease remains in a state of Parkinson's disease.
The spokesperson noted that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accurately testing and recording pesticides used by the golf industry to maintain a healthy golf course.
“Pesticides registered by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to senior researchers in their field, do not create harmless effects on human health and the environment when used according to the directions of posters,” the spokesman continued.
“The golf course on practitioners to manage integrated pests, a philosophy that reduces the potential environmental risks for the use of pesticides.”
Savica from Mayo Clinic recommended that the elderly continue to maintain activity, which is very important to their well -being.
He said: “I recommend people to continue to exercise in the open air and enjoy the socialism of any activity, including golf.”
“On the other hand, I recommend that people be very careful and avoid exposure to places where we know that there can be an interaction between pesticides and pollutants.”
