Distribution and heritability of recurrent ear infections.

The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology - 1 Aug 1997

Kvaerner K J, Tambs K, Harris J R, Magnus P

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of recurrent ear infections was obtained from a population-based sample of 2,750 pairs of Norwegian twins born between 1967 and 1974. The lifetime prevalence of self-reported recurrent ear infections was 8.9%, with a significant predominance of female cases. The mean age of onset was 4.2 years, with a gradual decrease in occurrence from 2 to 7 years of age. Among monozygotic pairs, the rate of...
