Risks in various human cohorts, and predicted by model.

Excess relative risks (per Gy) of cardiovascular disease in the Japanese atomic bomb survivors and in various occupationally exposed groups, compared with excess relative chemo-attractant (MCP-1) concentration at 1 Gy predicted by model. a90% CI. bExcess relative risk Sv−1. cAssuming 10 year lag. d1 Gy assumed given as 100 daily doses of 10 mGy, ERR evaluated by dividing excess MCP-1 concentration by baseline level from data of Cannon et al.[27]. eERR at 1 Gy of cumulative risk of exceeding threshold (≈cumulative cardiovascular risk), as given by Figure 8, for levels of MCP-1 threshold min[CTm,CTT] in the range [mean+0.25 SD, mean+1.00 SD], mean and SD taken from data of Cannon et al.[27].
