在埃塞俄比亚西部的两个重新安置计划中进行的一项以人口为基础的足尘病研究中，我们发现194名定居者中有5%和222名土著居民中有9%受到影响。 男性患病率普遍高于女性，并随着年龄的增长而增加，表明与职业有关的足部创伤的性别差异以及长期暴露于火山土壤的累积效应。 穿鞋的人比通常赤脚走路的人有显着降低。 并对足尘病的防治提出了建议。
In a population-based study of podoconiosis in two resettlement schemes in western Ethiopia, we found that 5% of 194 settlers and 9% of 222 indigenous people were affected. Prevalence rates were generally higher in males than females and increased with age, indicating sex differences in occupationally linked trauma to the feet and the cumulative effect of long-term exposure to volcanic soils. Persons wearing shoes had significantly lower rates than those usually walking barefoot. Suggestions are made for the control of podoconiosis.
