研究了公共和私人来源报告的性别、种族和年龄特异性淋病病例和发病率。年龄、性别和种族构成的作用被用来解释淋病发病率的变化趋势。从1967年开始，到1975年，美国报告的淋病病例以每年13%的速度增长，女性的增长率是男性的两倍。20-24岁年龄组的男性和女性淋病发病率最高，而15-19岁年龄组的发病率增幅最高。自1975年以来，报告的病例数量稳定下来。男性淋病发病率的下降比女性更明显。在所有年龄段中，20-24岁组的种族和性别类别下降幅度最大，但非白人女性除外。
Sex-, race-, and age-specific gonorrhea cases and rates reported by public and private sources were studied. The role of the age, sex, and race composition of the population was used to explain changing trends of morbidity due to gonorrhea. Beginning in 1967, reported cases of gonorrhea in the United States increased at an annual rate of 13% through 1975, with increases in women twice those in men. The group aged 20-24 years had the highest age-specific rates of gonorrhea in both men and women, while the highest percentage increases were observed in the 15-19-year-old age group. Since 1975, numbers of reported cases have stabilized. Decreases in rates of gonorrhea were more pronounced in men than in women. Among all ages, the group aged 20-24 showed the largest decrease for race and sex categories, except for nonwhite women.
