In 1999-2000 we conducted a one-year, retrospective population-based survey in Norway to estimate the incidence of gastroenteritis and study the association with selected exposures. A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to 3000 persons selected at random from the population registry, with 250 persons being contacted each month. The response rate was 61%. The incidence of acute gastroenteritis was 1.2 per person-year. The incidence was higher for women than for men. Of the total of 171 cases, 29 (17%) consulted a physician, 13 (8%) reported that a stool sample was taken, and 7 (4%) were admitted to hospital. Among children aged less than 15 years, drinking water from a private water supply was associated with illness, while using chlorinated water was protective. Among adults aged 20-40 years, travelling abroad was associated with illness. The incidence in our survey is similar to rates found by FoodNet in United States.
1999年至2000年期间，我们在挪威开展了一项为期一年的基于人群的回顾性调查，以估算肠胃炎的发病率，并研究其与特定暴露因素之间的关联。我们向从人口登记处随机抽取的3000人邮寄了一份自填式问卷，每月联系250人。回复率为61%。急性肠胃炎的发病率为每人年1.2例。女性的发病率高于男性。在总共171例病例中，29例（17%）咨询了医生，13例（8%）报告采集了粪便样本，7例（4%）住院治疗。在15岁以下儿童中，饮用来自私人供水的水与患病有关，而使用加氯水则有保护作用。在20至40岁的成年人中，出国旅行与患病有关。我们调查中的发病率与美国食品网（FoodNet）发现的发病率相似。
