23. 委员会 2006 年报告附件 B“对辐射照射所致的心血管病和其他非癌症疾病的流行病学评价”审查了对癌症以外的疾病进行的各种流行病学调查。1992年，根据对关于 1950-1985 年期间日本原子弹爆炸幸存者数据的“生命期研究”所作的分析，首次报道了辐射剂量和癌症以外疾病的死亡率之间具有统计意义的关联。存在这些关联的是心血管病和其他非癌症疾病。这些疾病的超高死亡率无法通过吸烟的影响或其他可能的因素来解释，因此需要对辐射是否是造成这些影响的直接原因进行审查。附件 B 主要侧重于这项生命期研究和与心血管病有关的其他研究的发现。
23. Annex B to the Committee’s 2006 report, entitled “Epidemiological evaluation of cardiovascular disease and other non-cancer diseases following radiation exposure”, considers epidemiological investigations that have addressed diseases other than cancer. A statistically significant association between radiation dose and mortality from diseases other than cancer was first reported in 1992 from the analysis of the Life Span Study of the data on the Japanese atomic bombing survivors for the period 1950-1985. Significant associations were seen for cardiovascular disease and other non-cancer diseases. The excess mortality from those diseases could not be explained by the effects of smoking or other possible factors and thus the possibility that radiation was the direct cause of those effects needed to be considered. Annex B concentrates primarily on the findings from that Life Span Study and others that relate to cardiovascular diseases.
