Association of brain heptachlor epoxide and other organochlorine compounds with lewy pathology
2019
Background:
Organochlorine pesticides are associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. A preliminary analysis from the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study suggested that heptachlor epoxide, a metabolite from an organochlorine pesticide extensively used in Hawaii, may be especially important. This was a cross sectional analysis to evaluate the association of heptachlor epoxide and other organochlorine compounds with Lewy pathology in an expanded survey of brain organochlorine residues from the longitudinal Honolulu-Asia Aging Study.
