title: [Characteristics of selenium status in the population from the industrial region of Ukraine].
abstract: The paper presents the results of a study of selenium levels in the blood of apparently healthy residents aged 18 to 59 years in technogenically polluted areas (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine). In women, the selenium levels have been ascertained to be 5-13% higher than those in men. The selenium status in the examinees corresponds to an average of the suboptimal level and 16% lower than the optimal one and significantly lower than that in the control area.
