Abstract
⺠We explored fine motor function in elderly men exposed to environmental lead. ⺠We used the grooved pegboard test, as well as a non-timed novel handwriting test. ⺠Higher bone lead was associated with longer completion time on the grooved pegboard. ⺠Higher bone lead was associated with increased performance stability on the novel tests. ⺠Lead effects on fine motor test performance may be related to processing speed.
