许多疾病的发病率与该地区的贫困有关。1英国早期的研究表明，社会阶层较低和过度拥挤与脑膜炎球菌性脑膜炎的风险增加有关。2利用1991年至1993年在泰晤士河东北部地区（现为泰晤士河北部地区的一部分）进行的一项前瞻性研究的数据，我们研究了细菌性脑膜炎3的类型与居住区剥夺之间的关系，并观察了年龄和种族群体的特定比率。
The rates of many diseases are linked to the deprivation of the area. 1 Earlier British studies have shown that lower social class and overcrowding are associated with increased risk of meningococcal meningitis. 2 Using data from a prospective study in North East Thames region (now part of North Thames region) between 1991 and 1993 we examined the relation between types of bacterial meningitis 3 and deprivation of residential area, looking at rates specific for age and ethnic group.
