The thought that young children are using these suggest they’ll suffer issues in their mid twenties which is horrifying, and then the issues could get worse throughout their life.

    I always knew cancer caused people to use cell phones!

    Edit: on a serious note, the confidence interval for malignant tumors is an odds ratio of 1.2-3.4, although a quick google finds more recent studies (I.e.: not based off of 1990s cell phones) are even lower.

    Do young children even hold phones near their heads anymore? I rarely see a kid less than their early teens doing anything but FaceTime or games. And after that point, video chats, texting, and doom scrolling.

    Even my 15yo daughter never holds the phone against her head.

    Two cohort studies and 16 case-control studies on this topic were identified […] The cohort study was of limited value due to methodological shortcomings in the study.

    Thats basically no evidence at all. Case control studies are mostly used to see if there might be some correlation and from that to form a hypothesis for further research.
