研究发现,碳酸盐含水层中较年轻的地下水与帕金森高24%的风险有关,旧水风险较低6.5%。
Younger groundwater in carbonate aquifers linked to 24% higher Parkinson’s risk, older water to 6.5% lower risk, study finds.
2026年的一项研究将碳酸盐含水层中较年轻的地下水与帕金森氏病风险高24%联系起来,而同一系统中较老的地下水则与按年龄标准偏差降低6.5%的风险挂钩。
A 2026 study links younger groundwater in carbonate aquifers to a 24% higher Parkinson’s disease risk, while older groundwater in the same systems is tied to a 6.5% lower risk per standard deviation in age.
研究人员分析了来自1 000个地下水点附近12 000多名病人和120万个控制点的数据,将水龄和含水层类型用作接触环境神经毒素的替代物,尽管没有发现具体的污染物。
Analyzing data from over 12,000 patients and 1.2 million controls near 1,000 groundwater sites, researchers used water age and aquifer type as proxies for exposure to environmental neurotoxins, though no specific contaminants were identified.
尚未经过同侪审查的调查结果表明,水文地质学影响有害物质的接触,可能通过农药或氰化物副产品渗入等因素产生,而气候和污染趋势可能增加风险。
The findings, not yet peer-reviewed, suggest hydrogeology influences exposure to harmful substances, potentially through factors like pesticide or cyanobacterial byproduct infiltration, with climate and pollution trends possibly increasing risk.
专家们呼吁扩大监测和进一步研究,以澄清各种联系和为预防提供信息。
Experts call for expanded monitoring and further research to clarify links and inform prevention.
