18 formation on body proportions and estimates of fat and muscle of various ethnic groups. His analysis of the Marshallese data compared with many individuals in other racial groups revealed that the young Marshallese adult male (age group 20 to 39) appeared outstanding in regard to muscle development. Table 8 shows a comparison of the anthropometric data on males of the Rongelap posed group also showed an increase in kyphoscoliosis, which is probably also due to the age factor. A slightly increased incidence ofprostatic hypertrophy was found among the exposed males. This will be given particular attention in the next survey. The unexposed population slightly exceeded the exposed in incidence of inflammatory diseases such as adenopathy, bronchitis, and phar- yngitis. There are no obvious reasonsfor this difference. No malignant lesions were detected in group and other groups. In contrast to the men, the data indicated that the women were either physically immature or had lost a considerable amountoflean tissue. These data as summarized by Dr. Behnke are presented in Appendix 9. either the exposed or unexposed groups. Papani- colaou examinations on vaginalsecretions revealed several that were suspicious of malignancy. These women will be checked carefully on the next survey.

These measurements included height and weight, and circumferences of shoulder girth, posed on Utirik, 35 children born after the fall- out to exposed parents, and 120 controls... In the Rongelap “exposed” group, two children biceps, forearm, wrist, chest, abdomen, buttocks, thigh, knee, calf, and ankle. Dr. Albert R. Behnke, examined in 1962 were not available- in 1963. Three other children were transferred to the adult study (Table 9). The previous medical survey of children on Utirik had been done in 1959.
