[Epidemiological study on special features of prevalence of disorders of the endocrine system among rural population living in different ecological conditions].
An epidemiological study was made on special features of prevalence of disorders of the endocrine system among the rural population over the period 1992-1996 based upon 8 regions of Ukraine. The role has been ascertained of ecological factors in modification of contingent prevalence of endocrine diseases. A hypothesis has been framed that there is the "exposure-->effect" type relationship between abnormal levels of radiation contamination and risk for origination of disorders of the endocrine system and increase in endocrine morbidity.
