MEDICAL EFFECTS OF CHERNOBYL DISASTER IN THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS: 30 YEARS AFTER

Abstract

Purpose of this study was to estimate the health status of the various categories of Belorussian population affected by the Chernobyl catastrophe 30 years after the accident. The aging of study revealed population and its gradual natural decline were shown. The most pronounced aging was observed in the cohort of liquidators from 41.0 [30.0; 50.0] years in 1986 to 59.0 [54.0; 66.0] years in 2014. In the analysis of the primary incidence rates the negative trend was found. The structure of primary morbidity of the affected population did not differ from the Republic of Belarus. The mortality of the affected population did not exceed the republican level, and in the cohort of liquidators it was below the population level (in 2014 SMR = 0,98 (0,93-1,03)). The incidence of malignant tumors in the affected population as a whole was slightly higher than the population level or it was even lower (PRG 1: SIR = 1,05 (1,04-1,07), PRG 2: SIR = 0,97 (0,89-1,04 ), PRG 3: (SIR = 0,9 (0,86-0,91))). Elevated levels of cancer incidence were observed due to the high incidence rates of thyroid cancer (all PRG) and leukemia (in 1 PRG).
