Authors compared the dynamics of primary and chronic gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases distribution at children living in the similar social, economy and nature conditions in radiation-polluted districts of Zhytomyr region with the non-polluted ones.

So, the radiation nature of non-cancer GIT diseases at children on suffering from Chornobyl catastrophe areas is proved.
