The aim of this population-based study was to assess the incidence rates of infectious diseases in native- (Italian) and foreign-born (immigrants) populations in a North Italy area, in 2006-2010. Crude, age-specific incidence rates (IRs) and age-standardised rate ratios (SRRs) between foreign- and native-born subjects and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. A total of 32,554 cases of infectious diseases were found (9.9% in foreign-born subjects). The highest SRRs between foreign- and nativeborn subjects were found for tuberculosis (SRR = 27.1; 95% CI 21.3-34.3), malaria (SRR = 21.1; 14.6-30.4), scabies (SRR = 8.5; 7.6-9.4), AIDS (SRR = 2.5; 1.8-3.4) and viral hepatitis B (SRR = 3.3; 2.1-5.2). The highest IR was found for AIDS in people from the Americas (IR = 4.57; 95% CI 2.2-8.4), for malaria and tuberculosis in people from Africa (IR = 13.89; 11.6-16.5 and IR = 11.87; 9.8-14.3 respectively). Therefore immigrants are at a higher risk of acquiring some common infectious diseases compared to the native population in Western European countries.
这项基于人群的研究旨在评估2006 - 2010年意大利北部一个地区本地(意大利)出生和外国出生(移民)人群中传染病的发病率。估计了外国出生和本地出生人群之间的粗发病率、年龄别发病率(IRs)以及年龄标准化率比(SRRs)及其95%置信区间(95%CI)。共发现32554例传染病病例(外国出生人群中占9.9%)。外国出生和本地出生人群之间最高的SRRs见于结核病(SRR = 27.1;95%CI 21.3 - 34.3)、疟疾(SRR = 21.1;14.6 - 30.4)、疥疮(SRR = 8.5;7.6 - 9.4)、艾滋病(SRR = 2.5;1.8 - 3.4)和乙型病毒性肝炎(SRR = 3.3;2.1 - 5.2)。美洲人群中艾滋病的发病率最高(IR = 4.57;95%CI 2.2 - 8.4),非洲人群中疟疾和结核病的发病率最高(分别为IR = 13.89;11.6 - 16.5和IR = 1l.87;9.8 - 14.3)。因此,与西欧国家的本地人群相比,移民感染一些常见传染病的风险更高。
