Abstract

Background:Although studies have consistently found an association between childhood leukaemia risk and magnetic fields, the associations between childhood leukaemia and distance to overhead power lines have been inconsistent. We pooled data from multiple studies to assess the association with distance and evaluate whether it is due to magnetic fields or other factors associated with distance from lines.Methods:We present a pooled analysis combining individual-level data (29,049 cases and 68,231 controls) from 11 record-based studies.Results:There was no material association between childhood leukaemia and distance to nearest overhead power line of any voltage. Among children living Conclusions:In this first comprehensive pooled analysis of childhood leukaemia and distance to power lines, we found a small and imprecise risk for residences
