Data are summarized from a series of studies to determine the late effects of radiation in adult populations of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Results are reported from studies on skin aging, hair greying, cardiovascular findings, neuromuscular response, antibody levels, ocular aging, auditory aging, and miscellaneous aging characteristics in persons exposed to radiation from the atomic bombs as adults; growth and development studies on exposed persons born between 1935 and 1945; the incidence of neoplasms in the exposed populations; possible genetic effects of radiation in selected groups; the incidence of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases in exposed populations; hematological studies; metabolic studies, and other related studies in exposed persons and their offspring. Possible future programs are discussed. (C.H.)
