For the 10-year period 1979-1988, the incidence of endoscopically diagnosed peptic ulceration at Ga-Rankuwa Hospital was studied with particular reference to: type of ulcer; age, sex and place of residence of the patients; and patient's occupations. The incidence of peptic ulceration remained unchanged. In this area, gastric ulceration is a rare disease among black people. Early urbanisation had no influence on incidence but more patients from developing rural areas were seen as the study progressed. There was a peak incidence during August.
在1979年至1988年的10年期间，对加兰夸瓦医院经内镜诊断的消化性溃疡发病率进行了研究，特别涉及：溃疡类型；患者的年龄、性别和居住地；以及患者的职业。消化性溃疡的发病率保持不变。在该地区，胃溃疡在黑人中是一种罕见疾病。早期城市化对发病率没有影响，但随着研究的进行，来自农村发展地区的患者增多。8月份发病率达到高峰。
