A prospective cohort study was conducted to estimate the incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) among hajjis registered at primary health care centres of Riyadh. Out of 1027 hajjis, 39.8% developed symptoms of ARI. The incidence of ARI was not statistically significantly associated with age, sex, educational status or smoking. The risk of illness was significantly higher among diabetics, hajjis who stayed longer in the hajj area and who prayed at Namera mosque. Use of a facemask by men, but not use of a facecover by women, was a significant protective factor against ARI.
开展了一项前瞻性队列研究，以估算在利雅得初级卫生保健中心登记的朝觐者中急性呼吸道感染（ARI）的发病率。在1027名朝觐者中，39.8%出现了ARI症状。ARI的发病率与年龄、性别、教育程度或吸烟之间无统计学显著关联。糖尿病患者、在朝觐地区停留时间较长以及在纳梅拉清真寺祈祷的朝觐者患病风险显著更高。男性使用口罩而非女性使用面罩是预防ARI的一个重要保护因素。
