“…However, mortality due to degenerative diseases of the nervous system (ICD-9: 331.1–337.9/ICD-10: G31–G32) appeared higher in U.S. radiologists (exposure assessment: NA) compared to the general population (SMR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.90; n deaths = 53) and compared to psychiatrists (RR = 1.39; 95% CI: 0.96, 2.01) even if it was not statistically significant in the latter case [ 62 ]. An increased risk of mortality from diseases of the nervous system was found in a cohort of 27,011 medical X-ray workers employed between 1950 and 1980 (average radiation exposure for the workers employed until 1969: 551 mGy; employed between 1970 and 1980: 82 mGy) in China compared to a group of 25,782 non-exposed medical specialists (RR = 2.10; 95% CI: 1.20, 3.10) [ 64 ]. On the other hand, a significant decrease in mortality from disease of the nervous system was reported among male diagnostic medical radiation workers (exposure assessment: NA) in South Korea compared with the general population (SMR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.33, 0.88; n deaths = 16) [ 60 ].…”

“…Regarding internal comparison, a RR pooled was computed from three studies (all including medical radiation workers [ 61 , 62 , 64 ]), showing no increased risk of death due to nervous system diseases in IR-exposed people compared to unexposed controls (RR pooled = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.85, 1.61), with high heterogeneity (Q = 9.38, p = 0.009), I 2 = 78.67%, and no suspected publication bias ( p = 0.21) ( Figure 3 ).…”
