PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE HEALTH STATUS AND RADIATION DOSES OF RESIDENTS OF THE ABAY DISTRICT OF THE ABAY REGION, WHO ARE DESCENDANTS OF PERSONS EXPOSED TO RADIATION DUE TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTS
Introduction. The relevance of this study is determined by the significant number of population groups in the regions of Kazakhstan adjacent to the former Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNS), who still live under environmental stress and the associated medical and social consequences.
The aim of our study is to conduct a preliminary analysis of the health status and radiation doses of residents of the Abay District of the Abay Region, who are second- and third-generation descendants of people exposed to radiation due to nuclear weapons testing.
Materials and Methods. Study design: cross-sectional screening study. A physical examination and laboratory testing were conducted, along with a study of sociodemographic factors and radiation doses among the parents and grandparents of the target population of 233 people aged 18-65 years in the villages of Karaul and Sarzhal in the Abay District of the Abay Region. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 (SPSS Inc., New York) and Jamovi (version 2.5.5; https://www.jamovi.org).
Results. The vast majority of people included in the study were aged 29 years or younger and 30-39 years. Approximately 70% had lived in the area since birth or for over 30 years. Enlarged peripheral lymph nodes were observed in 6.1% of women. Enlarged thyroid glands were observed in almost all study participants. The median ACTH level in men was slightly elevated compared to normal values. The study results indicate a range of high radiation doses for both first- and second-generation exposed individuals.
Conclusion. To determine the relationship between radiation doses and stochastic and deterministic health effects in the study population, a comparative analysis is required across different dose groups and a control group of people not exposed to radiation.
