View Original AbstractMobile phone ownership among young brain tumor patients in Japan did not differ from general population estimates.
Plain English Summary
The study included 82 patients aged 6 to 18 years diagnosed with brain tumors between 2006 and 2010. Patients were divided into 16 mobile phone owners and 66 non-owners one year before diagnosis. Researchers used three general-population surveys to calculate expected ownership and found age-adjusted standardized ownership ratios of 0.83, 0.51, and 0.75 with confidence intervals of 0.56-1.22, 0.24-1.04, and 0.42-1.32. Mobile phone ownership prevalence among the young patients did not differ from general population estimates.
Why This Matters
The researchers noted that mobile phone use among children is increasing annually and recommended continued investigation into health effects. The study aimed to clarify ownership and usage of mobile phones among young brain tumor patients in Japan.
