Sex differences in campylobacteriosis incidence rates at different ages - a seven country, multi-year, meta-analysis. A potential mechanism for the infection.
Abstract:Background. There is evidence of an excess of males in the incidence rates of campylobacteriois. The objectives of this study were to determine whether these observations differ between age groups and are consistent over different countries and during different time periods.
Methods. We obtained data on incidence rates of campylobacteriosis by sex and age group over a period of 11-26 years from seven countries. Male to female incidence rate ratios (IRR) were computed by age group, country and time period. Fo… Show more
