| Abstract |
Data on waiting time to pregnancy, occupational exposures, and life-style factors were obtained for a random sample of 2252 pregnancies among commercial and clerical employees in Denmark. Overall exposure to a video display terminal indicated a slightly increased association with prolonged waiting time to pregnancy. A significant association was observed for self-reported high exposures (≥ 21h per week), but this finding was based on a small number of persons. Limitations of the study are discussed. |
