Abstract

Background: HEPATITIS B VIRUS infection is a very common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. It is estimated that 3% of IRANians are chronically infected with HEPATITIS B VIRUS. Current population-based studies on both rural and urban PREVALENCE of HEPATITIS B VIRUS infection in IRAN are sparse with results that do not always agree. We performed this study to find the PREVALENCE of hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-hepatitis B core antibody, and associated factors in the general population of three provinces of IRAN.Methods: We randomly selected 6,583 subjects from three provinces in IRAN, namely Tehran, Golestan, and Hormozgan. The subjects were aged between 18 and 65 years. Serum samples were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-hepatitis B core antibody. Various risk factors were recorded and multivariate analysis was performed.Results: The PREVALENCE of hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-hepatitis B core antibody in IRAN was 2.6% and 16.4%, respectively. Predictors of hepatitis B surface antigen or anti-hepatitis B core antibody in multivariate analysis included older age, not having high-school diploma, living in a rural area, and liver disease in a family member. We did not find any significant differences between males and females.Conclusion: In spite of nationwide vaccination of newborns against HEPATITIS B VIRUS since 1992, HEPATITIS B VIRUS infection remains a very common cause of chronic liver disease in IRAN which should be dealt with for at least the next 30 – 50 years.
