Table 3 The relation between groups and the 238U/235U ratio by number of depleted uranium deployments and self-reporting of possible depleted uranium exposure.

n = 339 Coefficients*(95% CI) p Value
Group 0.8
 Combat 0.10 (−0.30 to 0.51)
 Clean-up −0.21 (−0.95 to 0.53)
 Medical 0.01 (−0.79 to 0.81)
Two or more DU deployments during service 0.25 (−0.13 to 0.63) 0.2
One or more self-reported circumstance of possible DU exposure −0.11 (−0.49 to 0.27) 0.6

“DU” deployments refer to participants deployed in operations where depleted uranium munitions were used.

Reference groups: non-combat, 1 “DU” deployment, 0 self-reported exposure.
