VitalStatistics on the Utirik Peopie Since a new health aide was not able to locate medical records covering the past 3 years, vital statistics on the Utirik people were particularly difficult to obtain. It appeared that 9 people ofthis exposed group haddied over the past 2 years. The causes of death could not be determined. This makesa total of 24 deaths in the 157 people during the 12-year period since exposure. No major epidemics of disease were reported. During the summer of 1964 a numberof children developed diarrhea, and in about 5 cases bloodystools,fever, and vomiting were noted. No deaths occurred, and the cases improved on antibiotic treatment. 1 j Table 9 Sex Distribution of Rongelap Children Born Since 1954 (including somestillborn) Sex of children Parents Male Female Exposed male and exposed female 13 12 Unexposed male and exposed female 12 15 Exposed male and unexposed female 3 7 Exposed female and unknown male Unexposed male and unexposed female 2 61 25 44 | on 1960 30 22 18 soem 1958 2 2 wegen ete ee 1956 1957 i 8 CE TE I Regie ake eee 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 19 20 ed RP 1954: 1955
