利用人口普查和调查办公室（OPCS）综合调查，可以测量成人腹泻发作后获得粪便培养的频率。在1992年10月至1993年1月的4个月期间，对8000多名成年人进行了采访，633人（7.9%）报告在上个月发生过一次腹泻，其中5.4%的腹泻患者报告说，曾要求检查粪便。在现有样本量的情况下，未观察到显著的区域差异。成人腹泻发病率估计为每人每年不到一次。
Utilizing the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS) Omnibus Survey, it was possible to measure the frequency with which a stool culture was obtained following episodes of diarrhoea in adults. Interviewing over 8000 adults, over a 4-month period between October 1992 and January 1993, 633 persons (7.9%) reported one episode of diarrhoea in the previous month: and 5.4% of these individuals with diarrhoea reported that a stool had been requested for examination. No significant regional differences were observed with the sample size available. The estimate of the rate of diarrhoea in adults was just under one episode per person per year.
