“…Here we present the results of the analysis of the most recent WHO mortality data. available, updated December 2018 [ 26 ], which demonstrates the extent of the acceleration of NM in two categories: ‘Nervous Disease Deaths’, which includes the major conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease, PD, MS, etc., and, ‘AD and Other Dementia Deaths’, in 21 analysed DC, over a mere 15 year period, 2000 to 2015 [ 26 , 71 ]. The data show that in every DC the rates of death from general neurological diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease, PD and MS for 55–74-year-olds had a greater increase, rather than from dementias in the same age range.…”

This work presents the current state of knowledge about the possible contributory influence of the electromagnetic field on the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. Up-to-date literature indicates both favourable and adverse effects of electromagnetic exposure on human health, making it difficult to come to valid and unambiguous conclusions. The epidemiological data analysis from the World Health Organization statistics shows a substantial rise in neurological mortality compared with rises in total populations in developed countries over a mere 15-year period. The largest of the analysed countries produced odds ratios of >100%. The contribution of electromagnetic exposure to the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases is still undoubtedly open to discussion, and it requires further in-depth research to assess the action mechanism of electromagnetic fields in neurodegenerative diseases. The limitations of research published hitherto and the problem of drawing unequivocal conclusions are also in focus.
