The late radiation effects resulting from the accidental event of
radioactive fall-out in the MarshaI1l lslands in March 1954, during
experiments on a thermonuclear device, are reported. The purpose of the
article is to point out some of the complexities associated with a
population study of this type, the approach to the problem, and the
organiza tion and planning that are unique to this type of operation.
Emphasis is placed on a detailed consideration of the cardiovascular
findings five years after the accident for possible late effectsof
radiation exposure. The group of Marshallese people studied did not show an
unusual degree of cardiovascular disease.
abnormalities present are described.
The types of cardiovascular
In an analysis of the amount of aging
associated with arteriosclerosis, no changes different from those in more
northerly situated people appeared. There were no significant differences
in type and degree of cardiovascular abnormalities on comparison of exposed
and control adult population groups.
The exposure of this population to
acute radiation from the fallout has not induced, according to clinical
observations made 5 years after the exposure, new or unusual cardiovascular
abnormalities. The exposed persons displayed less cardiovascular disease
than a comparable control group of unexposed persons.
