Radiologic evaluation of subclinical cardiovascular structural changes in school cafeteria workers: a chest computed tomography study with age-matched controls
Our findings suggest that long-term occupational exposure to COFs contributes to subtle cardiovascular alterations detectable on chest CT, even in the absence of overt calcification. These results highlight the need for occupational health surveillance and longitudinal studies to evaluate the clinical implications of these changes.
