25. 委员会 2006 年报告附件 B 审查了现有的流行病学数据，并试图确定与辐射照射有关的非癌症疾病的风险特征。该附件讨论了与评估非癌症疾病的流行病学数据特别有关的几个方法问题，然后对约 50 个受辐照人群癌症以外的重大疾病现有数据进行了一般概述。对心血管病方面的流行病学数据进行了详细审查，心血管病是最常见的疾病之一，也是辐射照射可能成为病因这方面现有资料相对较多的一种疾病。附件 B 还确定了在认识这种风险的性质方面所存在的重大差距，并讨论了可能对今后的辐射风险评估产生的影响。
25. Annex B to the Committee’s 2006 report reviews current epidemiological data and attempts to characterize the nature of the risk of non-cancer disease associated with exposure to radiation. It discusses several methodological issues that are especially relevant for assessing epidemiological data for non-cancer diseases. It then provides a general overview of currently available data on major diseases other than cancer from some 50 irradiated populations. Epidemiological data have been reviewed in detail for cardiovascular disease, which is one of the most common diseases and the one for which relatively more information on possible causation by radiation exposure is currently available. Annex B also identifies important gaps in knowledge regarding the nature of this risk and discusses the possible impact on future radiation risk assessment.
