Spatial and temporal distribution patterns and factors influencing hepatitis B in China: a geo-epidemiological study
The later people are born, the lower the incidence of hepatitis B. The northwest and southwest regions are the main hotspots, but there is a tendency to spread to southern China. The number of beds in medical institutions should be increased in densely populated areas, and economic development should be accelerated in sparsely populated areas. Hepatitis B prevention and control should be prioritized in geographic hotspots, coupled with enhanced awareness campaigns in rural areas and catch-up vaccination programs targeting high-risk populations.
