[Study of reproductive behavior in Russian and Byelarus populations exposed to ionizing radiation as a consequence of the Chernobyl AES accident].

As a result of the Chernobyl accident the population in Gomel and Mogilev districts of Belorussia as well as in Bryansk district in Russia were exposed to ionizing radiation. The changes in pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, etc) are the integral indices reflecting the state of the population under post-accident conditions. The data obtained don't allow us to isolate reliably the radiation-induced component in post-accident behavior of the studied populations.
