When separate dose–response analyses were conducted by age at exposure (<20 vs ≥20), the risk for those exposed as children or adolescents was highly significant with a gender-averaged ERR/Gy of 1.36 (95% CI: 0.59, 2.7); however, no statistical evidence of a dose–response was present for those exposed as adults with ERR/Gy of 0.27 (95% CI: <0, 1.07), −0.18 (−0.24, 1.8) and 0.34 (−0.18, 1.3) for gender-averaged, male and female, respectively.
