Abstract

Part of the population of the Altai Region was exposed to ionizing radiation during various radiation incidents of the last century. To identify the medical consequences of radiation exposure, a special medical dosimetric register was created in the province, containing information about the health status of the register’s contingents. This paper presents the results of the analysis of mortality rates of persons registered in the register in 2022 and 2023. The most significant causes of death, mortality rates for the most massive categories of register registration and trends in the dynamics of indicators in 2023 have been identified.
