accivity ingestion rate was approximately 4 times the population mean value.
The standard deviation observed for the adult activity ingestion cate distribution was 41% of the mean value, 39% of the mean value for young adults, 48% for
adolescents, 38% for children, and 54% ‘forinfants. Adolascenta and infants
exnibited a broader distribution than adilfs, while'children showed ¢ fractioual
variation in activity ingestion rate similar to that of aqults,, Breast feeding
versus coconut ssp supplements would have contributed to the greater variation
observed in infants.
Adoleacents and young adults were the population subgroups
which have been observed to move frequently between atolls.
This wobility would
lerd to greater variations in the daily activity ingestion rates relative to
those observed in the more stationary population subgroups.
Figure 12 also exhibited g wave patterns however, a distinct difference be~
tween males and females was indicated.
This difference arose from the use of
vaiues for Ke listed in Table 3 which were derived from urine data for male aii
ferale residents at Rongelap Atoll.
Its major impact was on the dose equivalent
rate, not on the total dose equivalent; and its effect was to cause the dose
equivalent race for males to rise and decline more rapidly chan for females.
