Table 1. Frequency (%) of unstable chromosomal aberrations in the examined groups (median, 25 and 75%)
Note: р — statistical differences in indicators between similar age subgroups of the exposed and control groups; р1 — statistical differences in indicators between age subgroups "40–59 years old" and "60–69 years old"; р2 — statistical differences in indicators between age subgroups "40–59 years old" and "70–79 years old"; M — male; F — female.
Table 2. Dynamics of frequency (%) of unstable exchange-type chromosome aberrations in the same exposed individuals examined in different age subgroups
Note: р — statistical differences in the final indicators as registered between subgroups.
