ABSTRACT

Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm in patients younger than 15 years, although some factors such as tobacco and alcohol are related; there is still little information about the environment. Objective: To determine the environmental risk factors associated with ALL in children. Material and methods: Case-control study, analytical and cross-sectional in the period January 2016 to May 2017. The sample size was non-probabilistic. Within the risk factors associated for assessment, were: exposure to pesticides, electromagnetic fields, smoking, and alcohol during pregnancy, history of cancer and familial haematological disease. It was paired with two controls; data were analyzed with statistical methods odds ratio and confidence interval with SAS 9.4 statistical program. Results: There were 17 cases and 34 controls, male predominated, mean age was 7.29; The environmental risk factor with statistical significance was exposure to electromagnetic fields with an OR 4.06 (CI:1.05-15.3) p ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: The environmental risk factor for ALL was exposure to electromagnetic fields.
