Not Only a Complication of Diabetes: Environmental Pollution Identified as a Trigger for Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy
Recent results from the prospective population-based KORA F4/FF4 study have linked environmental risk factors with the onset of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) for the first time.
