During one year, 1979-80, all the contacts between the 836 inhabitants of Upernavik town and the local medical officers were recorded. In the 737 native Greenlanders 1006 contacts (41%) were caused by infectious diseases, representing 705 episodes of disease. The number of contacts per episode of disease was similar in all age groups. Of these contacts 26% were caused by acute upper respiratory tract infections, 8% by other acute respiratory infections, 10% by chronic respiratory infections, 24% by non-traumatic skin infections, 7% by post-traumatic skin infections, 8% by sexually transmitted diseases, and 17% by other infections. Skin infections were most common in males, whereas all other infections were most common in females. The patterns of age specific contact rates were similar in males and females, except regarding "other infections". A peak of respiratory infections in July and of skin infections during winter was noted. The contact rate for all infectious diseases together was slightly higher than in Danish general practice, and infectious diseases also accounted for a larger proportion of all registered contacts. Contacts due to chronic respiratory infections, skin infections and sexually transmitted diseases were notably more frequent in Upernavik.
在1979 - 1980年这一年间，记录了乌佩纳维克镇836名居民与当地医务人员之间的所有接触情况。在737名格陵兰原住民中，1006次接触（占41%）是由传染病引起的，代表705次发病情况。各年龄组每次发病的接触次数相似。在这些接触中，26%由急性上呼吸道感染引起，8%由其他急性呼吸道感染引起，10%由慢性呼吸道感染引起，24%由非创伤性皮肤感染引起,7%由创伤后皮肤感染引起，8%由性传播疾病引起，17%由其他感染引起。皮肤感染在男性中最为常见，而所有其他感染在女性中最为常见。除了“其他感染”外，男性和女性特定年龄接触率模式相似。注意到7月呼吸道感染出现高峰，冬季皮肤感染出现高峰。所有传染病的接触率略高于丹麦的一般医疗实践，传染病在所有登记接触中所占比例也更大。在乌佩纳维克，由慢性呼吸道感染、皮肤感染和性传播疾病引起的接触明显更为频繁。
