Report on blood cholinesterase among vegetable growers

Abstract
We report our study on serum cholinesterase in vegetable growers, a risk occupation in a rural area of Thailand. In this study, 70 subjects (35 vegetable growers and 35 controls) were studied. The mean blood cholinesterase level in vegetable growers (17.7 +/- 7.0 U/ml) was significantly lower than that of the control group (24.7 +/- 12.4 U/ml) (p=0.01).
