Does the magnetic fields of electrical appliances/items, within buildings that you live and/or work in, somewhat in any way adversely affect the human body whatsoever over a lifetime? If so, then in which ways?

Most of them are very weak in nature, and therefore won't affect the human body much. However, if the signals are stronger (eg, microwave radiation) and the exposure is to that is longterm (eg, standing next to a microwave 24h a day for years), you'll find that the body is more susceptible to cancer.

People who works in elector magnetic fields are know to have a much higher rate of leukemia. As young I saw a letter from 1919 from a water power engineer, who reported his findings to the head office. The finding were confirmed later on, that it was a fact. It is not enough with the electric fields in you home. Think about all radio transmitting around us and the electromagnetic fields from universe. The mobile phones not to forget. you hold it very near your head and brain, don't you?
Some sources tells that it might give us Cancer in the brain, but there is no one telling that it is impossible to be true,

The energy of electrical signals follows the inverse square law. That means the distance from the source makes alot of difference. If you are 2X the distance away, your exposure will be 4X less. If you are 4X away, your exposure will be 16X less. So, the devices that are very close physically is the mobile phone and it is also used very close to the brain.

The other stray sources are much weaker. There are alot of other waves passing through the home, TV signals, Satellite, WiFi, Bluetooth, Cosmic radiation, UV radiation, but again as mentioned, they are mostly quite weak. Extreme exposure may expose a person to the dangers of cancer.
