Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA The current study used Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinical records, State of California pesticide application records, spatial maps of distribution of Parkinsons disease patients, and pesticide applications to determine if there was evidence for "blow-in" of pesticides as a factor in explaining the prevalence of Central Valley Parkinsons disease. The results did not support the hypothesis of increasing prevalence of Parkinsonism attributable to wind drift.
