Model		Residential proximity to mobile phone base stations and analysis of cognitive function
Details		Residents (n = 85) living near mobile phone base stations in the Menoufiya governorate of Egypt (n = 85) were analyzed for visual motor speed, problem solving, attention, and memory. Test results were compared with exposure measurements from nearby mobile phone base stations. The authors report significant increases in headache (13.5% increase), memory changes (23.2% increase), dizziness (13.8% increase), tremors (9.4% increase), depressive symptoms (12.9% increase), and sleep disturbance (13.5% increase) from baseline levels as measured in local control subjects.

Comments		exposure assessment poor / non-existant - presumably based upon proximity and nothing else (?). Selection of the participants also not detailed.
