Abstract
To evaluate the relationship between occupational and environmental exposure to pesticides and Parkinson disease in a region of intense agribusiness activity in the state of Mato Grosso/Brazil. Case-control study carried out in a referral hospital for chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Non-conditional logistic regression analyses were performed. Having performed direct management of pesticides in the workplace (odds ratio [OR]: 3.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55 to 7.28), having a family history of Parkinson (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 1.61 to 7.28) and being men (OR: 3.01; 95% CI: 1.66 to 5.45) were all factors that contributed to a greater chance for the development of the disease. Our study reinforces the associations between occupational and environmental exposure to pesticides and the occurrence of Parkinson disease in regions of intense agribusiness activity in Brazil.
