abstract = {Although there are studies that show that some pesticides produce gonadal dysfunction
and gonadal cancer in different animals, there are not many studiesregardinghumans. This study
determined the prevalence and risk in humans of developing ovarian or testicular dysfunction or
cancer in areas with distinct exposure to pesticides, which have endocrine disrupting properties.
A population-based case-control study was carried out on humans living in ten health districts of
Andalusia (Southern Spain) classified as areas of high or low environmental exposure to pesticides
according to agronomic criteria. The study population included 5332 cases and 13,606 controls.
Data were collected from computerized hospital records between 2000 and 2018.The risk of gonadal
dysfunction or cancer was significantly higher in areas with higher use of pesticides in relation to
those with lower use.},
