title: Prevalence of hepatitis A antibodies in French recruits in 1985.
abstract: The epidemiological study of hepatitis A antibodies prevalence in 1000 french recruits shows a 20% fall in people of 18-20 years old between 1979 and 1985, and identifies variables such as residence in coasting area, stay overseas, study level, as the most important social and geographical risk factors. These results are in agreement with the evolution observed in different other european countries.
