A community health survey conducted in 16 villages of three blocks of Union Territory of Pondicherry detected lame children affected by poliomyelitis among other problems identified. The survey was conducted from July 1980 to September 1981. The survey method was house-to-house, covering 97% of the houses in the study area. Prevalence of lameness due to poliomyelitis among children aged from 6 to 15 years was 1.6 per thousand. These results were compared with those of the school health survey conducted by the School Health Education Bureau, Pondicherry, for the year 1980-1, which gave an estimate of 0.7 per thousand. The community health examination also confirmed that most of those affected were under 15 and that boys were more vulnerable than girls, as reported by other workers.
在本地治里中央直辖区三个街区的16个村庄进行的一项社区健康调查发现，除了其他问题外，还有受小儿麻痹症影响的跛足儿童。该调查于1980年7月至1981年9月进行。调查方法是挨家挨户走访，覆盖了研究区域内97%的房屋。6至15岁儿童中因小儿麻痹症导致跛足的患病率为千分之一。这些结果与本地治里学校健康教育局在1980 - 1981年进行的学校健康调查结果进行了比较，后者估计患病率为千分之0.7。社区健康检查还证实，正如其他工作人员所报告的那样，大多数受影响的人年龄在15岁以下，而且男孩比女孩更易患病。
