摘要

橙剂是一种军用除草剂，含有危险化合物二恶英，在越南战争期间(1959-1975)在南越广泛传播。根据美国军方档案中有关除草剂操作的数据，我们使用2009年人口普查估计了越南人民中残疾的流行程度。结果表明，橙剂的遗留问题仍在继续，即使在战争结束30多年后，对健康的不利影响(尽管很小)仍在继续。至关重要的是，严重行动不便的健康负担主要由受影响地区的少数民族妇女承担。

Long-Term Effects of Vietnam War: Agent Orange and the Health of Vietnamese People After 30 Years

This article examines the long-term health effects of Agent Orange, a military herbicide containing the hazardous chemical compound dioxin that was widely disseminated in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War (1959–1975). Based on data from US military archives on the herbicide operations, we estimate the prevalence of disabilities among Vietnamese people using the 2009 Population Census. The results demonstrate that the legacy of Agent Orange continues, with ongoing adverse (although small) effects on health even more than 30 years since the end of the war. Critically, the health burden of severe mobility disability has been mostly borne by ethnic minority women in the affected areas.
