Neurodegenerative Outcomes and Selected Military Exposures

Neurons.

In progress

A National Academies committee will conduct a systematic review of reviews to determine the strength of the evidence base for associations among six types of exposures encoutered during military service to include pesticides, jet fuels, solvents, heavy metals, per- and polyfluroalkyl substances, and particulate matter (2.5um) and eight neurodegenerative conditions. Associations will be examinied for each type of exposure and its specified subcategories and each of the eight specific neurodegenerative outcomes. The committee will not conduct new systematic reviews or primary analyses of individual-level data but based on its review will recommend areas for future primary studies or systematic reviews.

Open until January 31, 2026, 6:59 PM EST
