Late effects of radiation in a Marshall Island population accidentally
exposed to radioactive fall-out in 1954 are reviewed,
The most significant
findings have been in regard to the development of thyroid abnormalities
which have occurred largely in children exposed at less than 10 years of age,
and presumably caused by irradiation of the thyroid gland from internal
absorption of radioiodines in the fall-out and gamma radiation. Possible
radiation induced ageing effects were studied in 90 adults, 36 exposed and
55 unexposed by measurement of 14 criteria usually associated with ageing
