By a study of 2000 asymptomatic carriers of the HBs antigen, the following information was obtained: their frequency is 3 times greater in men than in women and twice as great in young subjects as compared with subjects aged over 35 years. However an increase in this frequency is noted beyond 55 years. The titre of the HBs antigen is not related to age, except for low titres, (5.65% of carriers frequent beyond the age of 45 years. The ratio an/ay (major subtypes) is 2.6 in French subjects. It does not vary with age. It is 1.6 in subjects of Group 0. Normal liver function tests were observed in 78.5% of all carriers, (women 91.5%, men 73.4%) and in only 45.6% of those with a high HBs antigen titre.
通过对2000名无症状乙肝表面抗原携带者的研究，获得了以下信息：男性携带者的频率是女性的3倍，年轻受试者的频率是35岁以上受试者的2倍。然而，55岁以后这一频率会增加。除低滴度外，乙肝表面抗原滴度与年龄无关（45岁以上携带者中5.65%滴度较低）。法国受试者中ad/ay（主要亚型）的比例为2.6，不随年龄变化。0组受试者中该比例为1.6。所有携带者中78.5%肝功能检查正常（女性为91.5%，男性为73.4%），而乙肝表面抗原滴度高的携带者中只有45.6%肝功能检查正常。
