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.
