Prevalence of HBsAg was studied in 5467 Saudi Arabians (2588 males, 2879 females) of various age groups from the Riyadh area, Central Province. Prevalence was found to be almost the same (6.3%-6.7%) in children less than 3 years of age in both sexes and reached its peak in the 10-14 years old for males (7.8%) and in the 3-9 years old for females (5.3%). The overall prevalence rate in males (5.2%) was significantly higher than that in Saudi females (3.7%); p less than 0.025. The predominant subtype in the Saudi population is ay (91%). Prevalence of HBsAg in 2140 Saudi blood donors was compared with that in 580 Filipino, 677 West European and 286 Yemeni blood donors. Prevalence was highest among Filippino males (12.1%) and lowest among West Europeans (0.4%). Prevalence among male Saudi blood donors was close to that among Yemeni blood donors (4.9%). In all three groups prevalence of HBsAg was higher in males than in females.
对来自中部省份利雅得地区不同年龄组的5467名沙特阿拉伯人（2588名男性，2879名女性）进行了乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）流行率的研究。发现3岁以下儿童中男女的流行率几乎相同（6.3%-6.7%），男性在10-14岁达到峰值（7.8%），女性在3-9岁达到峰值（5.3%）。男性的总体流行率（5.2%）显著高于沙特女性（3.7%）；p小于0.025。沙特人群中主要的亚型是ay（91%）。将2140名沙特献血者的HBsAg流行率与580名菲律宾人、677名西欧人和286名也门人献血者的流行率进行了比较。流行率在菲律宾男性中最高（12.1%），在西欧人中最低（0.4%）。沙特男性献血者中的流行率与也门献血者中的流行率相近（4.9%）。在所有三组中，HBsAg的流行率男性均高于女性。
