[Retrospective survey of nursery-age children 5 years after Chernobyl].

In their paper, the authors are dealing with the effect of the Chernobyl's nuclear catastrophe (1986) for the outcome of pregnancy and some parameters of the status of health. Their empirical study is based on a sample (sample size is 1168) of pregnant of the critical year 1986, and also based on a control sample (sample size is 1068) of the year 1985. They compared the five old year children's parameters of status of health between the critical and control groups. Their retrospective epidemiologic survey is extended to study some prenatal, perinatal and childhood parameters also. Finally, they summarise the biometric evaluation of their questionnaire survey. No significant difference of health conditions of the two groups defined above was found.
