## Abstract ## Background A prior investigation of this cohort of female nuclear workers found increased deaths from mental disorders, including dementia. The present study estimates the effect of workplace exposures to ionizing radiations and other hazards on mortality from dementia. ## Methods
Experiments have been performed to elucidate whether the dose-response relationship for radiation transformation is likely to be due to the fraction of cells altered by the radiation exposure or to the degree of initiation in individual cells. Radiation doses of 0.25, 1, 4, and 6 Gy were utilized in
