The death rate among children exposed to the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima in utero and after birth was higher than of a control group. As for the causes of death of children exposed in utero the incidence of neoplastic diseases and circulatory diseases was significantly higher than that of the control group. The mortality among these children did not show any definite relation to the degree of exposure. ln the children exposed after birth, the radiation effect was rccognized from 3 years to 7 years after exposure. The average lifespan was almost the same as that indicated by the death rate in the l950-l952 (Japanese) corrected life table. The death rate of children exposed after birth was especially high in girls, and it was largely due to leukemia, though the latter was increased also in the control group. (Abstr.
