Fig. 1. Dynamics of primary incidence of MNOs in women living in environmentally different territories of the Bryansk Region with the long-term trends by 3-year periods for the years 2000–2019 (recalculated per 100,000 population)
Table 1. Ranking of the Bryansk Region territories based on the levels of radioactive, chemical, and combined environmental pollution, and primary incidence of MNOs (2000–2019)
Note: * — difference (%) from the all-Russian level of primary incidence of MNOs (2000–2019). Differences in primary incidence of MNOs based on the Mann–Whitney U test: in environmentally safe territories and territories with chemical (p = 0.67), radioactive (p = 0.22), and combined (p = 0.95) contamination; chemical and radioactive (p = 0.11), chemical and combined (p = 0.94), radioactive and combined (p = 0.30) contamination.
Table 2. Relative risk (RR) of primary incidence of MNOs in women aged 18–80 years living in the territories with varying levels of radioactive, chemical, and combined environmental contamination for the years 2000–2019
Table 3. Comparative assessment of primary incidence of high-grade, intermediate grade, and low-grade MNOs among women aged 41–60 years living in environmentally different territories of the Bryansk Region for the years 2000–2019 (recalculated per 100,000 population)
Note: * — the differences are significant at р < 0.05; ** — the differences are significant at р < 0.001; n/s — the differences are non-significant at р > 0.05.
