Exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields and behavioural problems in Bavarian children and adolescentsSilke Thomas
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and NetTeaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Hospital of the Ludwig Maximilians University, Ziemssenstrasse 1, Munich, Germany
Eur J Epidemiol 25:135-41. 2010..4-5.9). As this is one of the first studies that investigated an association between exposure to mobile telecommunication networks and mental health behaviour more studies using personal dosimetry are warranted to confirm these findings...
Exposure to mobile telecommunication networks assessed using personal dosimetry and well-being in children and adolescents: the German MobilEe-studySilke Thomas
Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Ziemssenstr, 1, 80336 Munich, Germany
Environ Health 7:54. 2008..Especially children and adolescents are important in the discussion of adverse health effects because of their possibly higher vulnerability to radio frequency electromagnetic fields...
The association between socioeconomic status and exposure to mobile telecommunication networks in children and adolescentsSilke Thomas
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and Net Teaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Munich, Germany
Bioelectromagnetics 31:20-7. 2010..Whether short duration of own mobile phone use or the small numbers of participants with a low SES are causal, have to be investigated in further studies...
The impact of exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields on chronic well-being in young people--a cross-sectional study based on personal dosimetrySabine Heinrich
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and Net Teaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Hospital of the Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, Germany
Environ Int 37:26-30. 2011..Prospective studies investigating potential long-term effects of RF EMF are necessary to confirm our results...
Personal exposure to mobile phone frequencies and well-being in adults: a cross-sectional study based on dosimetrySilke Thomas
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and Net Teaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Munich, Germany
Bioelectromagnetics 29:463-70. 2008..We did not find any statistically significant association between the exposure and chronic symptoms or between the exposure and acute symptoms. Larger studies using mobile phone dosimetry are warranted to confirm these findings...
Personal exposure to mobile communication networks and well-being in children--a statistical analysis based on a functional approachAnja Kühnlein
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and Net Teaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, Germany
Bioelectromagnetics 30:261-9. 2009..The functional classification approach yielded a plausible partition of the exposure data. The comparability with the standard approach might be due to the data structure and should not be generalized to other exposures...
Association between exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields assessed by dosimetry and acute symptoms in children and adolescents: a population based cross-sectional studySabine Heinrich
Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and Net Teaching, Institute and Outpatient Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital of Munich LMU, Ziemssenstr, 1 80336 Munich, Germany
Environ Health 9:75. 2010..The authors investigated this potential association using personal dosimeters...
Higher prevalence of psychopathological symptoms in adolescents with headache. A population-based cross-sectional studyAstrid Milde-Busch
From the Institute of Social Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, Germany
Headache 50:738-48. 2010..Otherwise, there are only limited data regarding associations between different types of headache and psychopathological symptoms in adolescents...
Quality of life in adolescents with headache: results from a population-based surveyAstrid Milde-Busch
Institute of Social Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, Germany
Cephalalgia 30:713-21. 2010..The size of the reduction in QOL scores was small but similar to that observed for other chronic conditions in adolescents. Headache prevention programs might therefore have an impact on QOL in adolescents...
The association between use of electronic media and prevalence of headache in adolescents: results from a population-based cross-sectional studyAstrid Milde-Busch
Institute of Social Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Heiglhofstrasse 63, 81377 Munich, Germany

Unit for Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology, Institute for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Clinical Centre of the University of Munich, Germany
J Sci Med Sport 14:42-5. 2011..However, as the interest in the devices seems to be too low the suitability of them for weight reduction programmes in young people cannot be ensured...
Self-reported asthma and allergies in top athletes compared to the general population - results of the German part of the GA2LEN-Olympic study 2008Silke Thomas
