Radon concentrations in residential housing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
TL;DR: No statistically significant difference was observed between lung cancer mortalities in the low-dose range in the two cities, however, apparent values of the mortality rate for low dose range in Hiroshima are consistently greater than those in Nagasaki.

Hypertension and Heart Disease in the Ni-Hon-San Study
M. G. Marmot,A. Kagan,Hiroo Kato +2 more
TL;DR: Blood pressure within a population is perhaps the single most accurate guide to that individual’s risk of subsequently developing CHD, but this ‘within-population’ accuracy of prediction does not extend to comparisons between populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of circular asymmetry in cancer mortality of Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bomb survivors.
TL;DR: Data on Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bomb survivors are used to investigate, for each city, possible circular asymmetry in cancer mortality around the hypocenter, and it is found that in Hiroshima cancer mortality was significantly higher in the westerly direction from the hypoccenter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hiroshima and Nagasaki: new doses, risks, and their implications.
TL;DR: This presentation summarizes the recent re-evaluations of the dose and risk of cancer among survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and describes some of their implications for the lifetime projection of the risk of a fatal cancer following exposure to ionizing radiation.
