Abstract:
Results of studying in 4 districts of Ninh Binh city in June 1998 showed that the morbidity rate in people over 60 year olds was highest, followed by groups of children under 1 year and 5 year. Female morbidity rate was higher than this in male, especially the women at ages of 16-59 (5.4% compared with 2.9%). The average frequency of incidence estimated 92 times/100 inhabitants/year (0.9 generally and 0.8 for male; 1.0 for female). The 3 common diseases were the central nervous syndromes, the chronic respiration diseases, and bone and joint pain.
