AGING OF THE CHORNOBYL CATASTROPHE SURVIVORS AND PROBLEMS OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH SURVEY.

Background: Depopulation processes in Ukraine have been affected by the Chornobyl catastrophe (ChC), but therate of demographic aging of survivors remains uncertain. Although the mental health disorders of the survivors arerecognized internationally, problems of their research remain unresolved. Thus, these areas of research are relevant.

Radiation Risk Analysis of Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Ukrainian Chornobyl Catastrophe Liquidators.

To explore the possible impact of ionizing radiation in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders amongst clean-up workers of the Chornobyl catastrophe (liquidators). Retrospective-prospective study (1987-2015) of liquidators from the State Register of Ukraine (SRU) with radiation doses records and Clinical-Epidemiological Register (CER) of the State Institution ≪National Research Center for Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine≫ (NRCRM). Moreover, cohort and cross-sectional studies of the randomized sample of liquidators from the CER (exposed group, 198 subjects) were examined.

MORBIDITY OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DISEASES OF RESIDENTS FROM RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED AREAS. ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF CHRONIC LOW/DOSE IONIZING RADIATION.

Objective: to study post-accident levels of illnesses system diseases of residents from radioactively contaminatedareas aged 0-60 years on the date of the Chornobyl accident, and to analyze the effect of chronic low-dose ionizingradiation.

Materials And Methods: Epidemiological research and analysis of morbidity of circulatory system diseases of resi-dents of radioactively contaminated areas (RCA) has been carried out. The individuals who were studied includedRCA residents aged 0-60 (98, 902 persons) on the date of the Chornobyl accident.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE OF THE POPULATION EVACUATED FROM THE 306KM ZONE OF THE ChNPP AT THE AGE OF 18-60 YEARS. ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF INTERNAL IONIZING RADIATION ON THE THYROID GLAND 131I.

Unlabelled: Cohort epidemiological study of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) was conducted in population evacuated from the30-km zone of the ChNPP been adult at the time of the accident (age 18-60). Study period was 1988-2016. Reviewof the specific CVD link with internal thyroid radiation dose from 131I has been made.

Epidemiology of Late Health Effects in Ukrainian Chornobyl Cleanup Workers.

This article summarizes the results of 30 y of follow-up of cancer and noncancer effects in Ukrainian cleanup workers after the Chornobyl accident. The number of power plant employees and first responders with acute radiation syndrome under follow-up by the National Research Center for Radiation Medicine decreased from 179 in 1986-1991 to 105 in 2011-2015. Cancers and leukemia (19) and cardiovascular diseases (21) were the main causes of deaths among acute radiation syndrome survivors (54) during the postaccident period.
