Hematocrit Fernald FMMP FMPC NHANES RBC Residents WBC Introduction: The objective of this cross sectional study was to determine if participants of the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program (FMMP) had abnormal laboratory values of outcome measures (AST, ALT, RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, serum creatinine, urinary creatinine, urinary microalbumin) associated with exposure factors (geographical quadrants and distance from the Feed Materials Production Center (FMPC); well or cistern drinking water source) when compared with NANES data (NHANES=7,312, FMMP=8,464). The FMMP cohort consisted of persons 18 years or older who resided within a 5-mile radius of the FMPC for a 2-year minimum period between January, 1952, to December, 1984, excluding FMPC workers. Results: Because of concerns regarding methodologic bias in comparing FMMP to NHANES, the data analysis focused on inter-FMMP comparisons. Hematocrit was increased in participants who ever used well or cistern drinking water (n=5,379) versus those who never (n=3,058) by 1.86% (0.56-3.18% confidence interval of 99.9%); Red blood cells were increased by 1.65% (0.35-2.97). Among participants who ever lived within 2 miles (n=3,507) in relation to participants 3-5 miles of the FMPC, white blood cells were increased by 10.54% (5.54-15.76) (without drinking water source in the model). When only FMMP participants who had ever used well or cistern drinking water were selected (n=5,404), persons who had ever used well or cistern drinking water from a source within 2 miles (n=2,383) from the FMPC had an increase in total white blood cells of 8.52% (2.44-14.95) versus those who had only used well or cisterns within 3-5 miles (n=3,021) from the FMPC. Conclusion: Further epidemiological research should consider distance from the FMPC and use of well or cistern water as potential risk factors; and should follow-up on potential increases in hematocrit, red blood cells, and white blood cell counts. 2000 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin976116589 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin976116589 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
