Time trends of HBeAg prevalence rate.

Kanzo, 1986
わが国のHBVキャリアにおけるHBe抗原陽性率の年次推移を明らかにするために,年齢階級別,出生コーホート別に観察した.1) 1977年1月から84年3月の間に,大阪府赤十字血液センターが取扱ったHBs抗原陽性の献血者,男23,560人,女8,659人を調査対象とした.2) 性,年齢階級別にHBe抗原陽性率の年次推移を観察すると,男女とも近年HBe抗原陽性率が低下しつつあったが,特に,10歳代,20歳代でその傾向が著しかった.3) HBe抗原陽性率は,年齢とともに低下したが,同じ年齢階級でも出生年代が若くなるにつれて,HBe抗原陽性率は低くなった.4) 以上から,わが国のHBVキャリアにおけるHBe抗原陽性率は,今後も低下傾向を持続すると推測された.
