Summary

The Department of Experimental Medicine - Section of Hygiene, Occupational Medicine, Forensic Medicine of the Second University of Naples, the Section of Neurology of the Second University of Naples and the Mediterranean Neurological Institute NEUROMED, IRCCS are involved in the realization of a research project aimed at studying the correlation between environmental and occupational exposure to metals (copper, iron and manganese) and Parkinson disease in order to increase the knowledge of these possible risk factors and highlight an eventual predictive-diagnostic meaning of possible discrepancies in the content of these elements; secondly the collected data could be used for assessing the association (odd ratio-OR) between pathologies and different risk factors (for example smoking habits, professional exposure and so on).
