Abstract
Over the last decade, mobile phone use increased to almost 100% prevalence in many countries. Evidence for potential health hazards accumulated in parallel by epidemiologic investigations has raised controversies about the appropriate interpretation and the degree of bias and confounding responsible for reduced or increased risk estimates. Overall, 33 epidemiologic studies were identified in the peer-reviewed literature, mostly (25) about brain tumors. Methodologic considerations revealed that three important conditions for epidemiologic studies to detect an increased risk are not met:no evidence-based exposure metric is available; the observed duration of mobile phone use is generally still too low; no evidence-based selection of end points among the grossly different types of neoplasias is possible because of lack of etiologic hypotheses. The overall evidence speaks in favor of an increased risk, but its magnitude cannot be assessed at present because of insufficient information on long-term use.
Na última década, a prevalência do uso do telefone celular aumentou cerca de 100% em muitos países. Evidências de potenciais riscos acumulados para saúde em paralelo por pesquisas epidemiológicas levantam controvérsias sobre a interpretação apropriada e o grau de influência e desordem responsável pela redução ou aumento das estimativas de risco. Ao todo, 33 estudos epidemiológicos foram revistos por pares, sendo a maioria (25) sobre tumores cerebrais. Considerações metodológicas revelaram que não foram atendidas três importantes condições de estudos epidemiológicos para detectar um aumento de risco: não há nenhuma métrica de exposição baseada em evidências; a duração do uso de telefone celular observada é geralmente ainda muito baixa; não é possível a seleção de parâmetros com base em evidências entre os tipos de neoplasias totalmente diferentes, devido à falta de hipóteses etiológicas. As evidências no geral expressam um risco aumentado, mas sua magnitude não pode ser avaliada no momento graças à informação insuficiente sobre o uso a longo prazo.
