Abstract:
- The world’s first radiation accident after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant with the fallout over large areas of radionuclides of iodine and cesium, etc. (with a density of pollution in the Kaluga region up to 15 Ci/km2) was implemented at the district level of the Russian State Medical Dosimetry Registry scientifically grounded Specialized medical examination of the child population, for the analysis of individual and summary measures of health.
- Population analysisv was carried out in the Kaluga region and the calculation of attributable risk of stochastic effects. It is shown that the lifetime risk for thyroid cancer in children was 8.25, leukemia – 1.38 and 0.75 solid cancers per 100 patients.
- Scientifically proven lack of dependence of intense growth in overall incidence of newly diagnosed and individual classes in its structure from the value of the mean cumulative effective dose to the whole body for the first 10 years of living children in the contaminated areas of the Kaluga region.
- Based on analysis of the demographic-epidemiological and standardized intensive indicators of newly diagnosed disease, in the dynamics between 5 and 15 years, four risk groups are defined to follow-up with intact identification of possible long-term effects of low doses of radiation.
