Occupational noise exposure and Raynaud's phenomenon : a nested case-control study
The primary aim of this study was to determine if self-reported occupational noise exposure was associated with Raynaud's phenomenon. In northern Sweden, a nested case-control study was performed on subjects reporting Raynaud's phenomenon (N=461), and controls (N=763) matched by age, sex a...
