[The effect of radiation factors on cerebrovascular diseases in the region of northern Bukovina]. / Vplyv radiatsiïnykh chynnykiv na tserebrovaskuliarni zakhvoriuvannia v rehioni Pivnichnoï Bukovyny.

Correlation was studied between indices for prevalence and incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and level of radioactive contamination in the region of northern Bukovina. As far as CVD formation, prevalence, and incidence rate is concerned, long-term exposure to small doses of ionizing radiation (cesium and strontium) makes for augmentation or lowering of CVD levels depending on their form, age, and place of residence of those having become victims of the Chernobyl accident.
