Life Span Study, Life Span Study of A-bomb Survivors' Children
|
| For more than 60 years, follow-up study has
been conducted for at least 200,000 people, including A-bomb survivors,
those exposed in utero, and A-bomb survivors' children as well as
non-exposed individuals and their children. From various angles,
we investigate the types of diseases that lead to the deaths of
A-bomb survivors and their children, as well as mortality rates
and the causes of death among these people, and study whether there
is any difference in the mortality rates and the causes of death
between these people and people not exposed to radiation and their
children. For such exposed and non-exposed people, we investigate
what diseases will increase in the future, and what types of cancer
are increasing. We analyze whether there is any difference in the
mortality rate, the cause of death and the incidence rate of cancer
and other diseases because of radiation dose received or the age
of exposure, as well as whether there is any effect from factors
other than radiation, including smoking. These studies are mainly
conducted by the Departments of Epidemiology and Statistics. |
