Aetiology confronts two distinct issues: the determinant of individual cases, and the determinants of incidence rate: if exposure to a necessary agent is homogeneous within a population, then case/control and cohort methods will fail to detect it.

Empirical research into the causes and mechanisms of illness is often defined in terms of study of the determinants of the distribution of the disease; but the authors should not forget that the more widespread is a particular cause, the less it explains the Distribution of cases.

It was shown that the gains from the universal adoption of the conventional ‘safe limits’ within a population would be matched by an across-the-board per capita reduction to about 70% of current intake.

Overall, radiation workers at UKAEA showed no excess mortality, and the previously detected association of prostate cancer with high radiation dose may have been a statistical artefact or a risk associated with discontinued activities.

Despite this being the largest British workforce whose mortality has been reported in relation to low level ionising radiation exposure, even larger populations will need to be followed up over longer periods before narrower ranges of risk estimates can be derived.
