Figure 1. The orange dots represent the prevalence in each 5
year age group from the 2008 national
survey by El Zanaty and Way (Ref. 6). For example, persons over 30 years old would have a prevalence
of about
12% or higher of HCV antibody. The clear upside down triangle represent
the prevalence of those persons
who are HCV RNA positive. The blue line is a fitted regression for HCV
antibody prevalence. Overall, the
prevalence of HCV antiboby is 14.7% and the prevalence of HCV RNA virus
is 10%. See References
