Abstract: Evaluation of the health status of different groups of the Ukrainian population affected by the Chernobyl accident is one of the most important problems in elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. A lot of scientific researches devoted to study of health effects and based on established registers of victims of the Chernobyl accident had drawn conclusion about worsening of health of main groups of the affected population: Chernobyl accident recovery operation workers, evacuees from Prypyat city and 30km zone, and residents of the most contaminated with radionuclides territories. Most remarkable stochastic effect of radiation due to the Chernobyl accident is increase of thyroid cancer incidence rate in the above-mentioned groups of the Ukrainian population. For female breast cancer and some other solid cancers there are suggestions of increases. Further observation is needed for long term stochastic and non-stochastic effects.
