Compared with those in Beihu and Xinpu village, HBsAg carriers in Changbei village had significant fectures as follows: 1. They were much older than those in Beihu and Xipu villages. 2. The positivity rate of male was much greater than that in female. 3. The positivity rate of HBeAg was lower, anti-HBe was higher than those in Beihu and Xipu village. 4.
