The article provides data on the impact of a complex of factors on the performance and health status of women engaged in the cultivation of vegetables in radioactively contaminated areas. Vegetable growers showed a decrease in overall performance, deterioration in health indicators, an accelerated rate of aging, and a depressed psychological state. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct similar studies on radioactively "clean" areas.

Key words: vegetable growing, women, health, radiation.
