33
Popularity prevalence rate, ratio - PR It is a quota of morbidity among population in certain moment of time PR = number of existing cases of disease population during the same of time period GENERAL EPIDEMIOLOGY

RADIO-BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS NOT STOCHASTIC EFFECTS as a result of high irradiation acute radiation sickness and furnaces radiation injuries are developed STOCHASTIC EFFECTS developed during prolonged irradiation (external, internal, balanced, critical organs etc.) Somatic, genetic, embryo toxic
56
STOCHASTIC EFFECTS Somatic and genetic, embryo toxic effects are developed in casual, probabilistic nature Only probability of damage appearance depends on dose, but not weight and depth of damage Frequency of appearance radiation- induced diseases increases with dose increase RADIO-BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
57
STOCHASTIC EFFECTS Summary stochastic effects during population irradiation (population group) are defined by collective dose It is impossible to define an individual effect or additional risk and it is impossible to determine which kind of cancer is typical for additional cases RADIO-BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF LEUKAEMIA RESUME: The comparative analysis was done for clean-up workers CWA of 1986 and 1987 by periods of observation of 1987- 1991 and 1992-1996. The results of the conducted study indicate the increasing of the leukemia risk among CWA of 1986 most vividly during 1987-1991. Relative risk was defined at the level of 3,32 (1,08; 10,20), and for 20-59 age group it was 3,45 (1,15; 10,36). No significant differences were defined in leukemia incidence at survey groups in 1992-1996.
