A Study on Nonvibration-Exposed Organs Correlated Indices as Diagnostic Biomarkers of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome.

Objective: The aim of the study is to explore the feasibility of using nonvibration-exposed organ-related indices as vibration-induced white finger (VWF) diagnostic biomarkers.

Methods: Individuals were selected from a factory in China using the judgment sampling method. They were divided into control (con), non-VWF, and VWF groups according to the presence/absence of exposure to hand-transmitted vibration and VWF.
