Abstract

Study Abstract

Overview

The study scrutinizes the recall accuracy of mobile phone calls among young individuals in Japan, evaluating their self-reported usage versus actual calling data.

Findings

  • Investigates the potential link between mobile phone usage and health implications due to electromagnetic fields (EMF).
  • Highlights discrepancies in self-reported data when compared to actual usage metrics, underlining the challenges in reliable data gathering in EMF exposure studies.

Conclusion

This study underscores the importance of accurate data collection methodologies in understanding EMF exposure and its potential health risks. It serves as a critical resource for epidemiologists and public health officials to devise better data collection strategies and public health advisories.
