US trip Radiation exposure

Hello all.

Just a random thought I had. Now departing from the Middle East, flying at latitudes of high 60s or early 70s, I understand it’s not as bad as a polar flight, but certainly can’t be good for the body.
Is it generally the polar flights that are the ones we should worry about, or are such trips equally as dangerous for the body?

I sometimes wonder if it’s very harsh on the body.
Also on that note, how is it very different from pilots living in Scandinavia / Iceland? Being situated at high latitudes as is.
