If I remember right, the effects of radiation exposure for most residents of Pripyat is much less damaging than smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
That’s one of the problems with assessing the damage from indirect exposure - things like drinking, smoking, lead exposure, asbestos exposure, etc. are bigger irritants.
And control groups are very hard to manage for long term (lifelong) studies.
