ABSTRACT

Many studies have associated the dynamics of diseases’ prevalence with differences in social, economic and demographic status, but it is not yet clear if the same variables explain the spatial distribution of COVID-19 infections in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. This study assessed the spatial spread of COVID-19 infections in relation to socio-demographic risk factors in a typical administrative state – a relatively typical ethnocentric community – in Southwestern Nigeria. Data used were socio-demographics, income variables, COVID-19 status and travel history of 40,300 households. Data were analysed for frequency, prevalence and spatial distributions. The results revealed that COVID-19 cases were heterogeneously distributed within the state. The number of cases was relatively higher in the north and south-eastern parts of the State than in other areas. Male respondents had a higher prevalence (3.7%) of COVID-19 cases compared to their female (2.4%) counterparts. Transmission was most dominant among respondents aged above 70 years old (3.5%), widowed (3.3%) and those who lived in households with between 6 and 10 (4.9%) members. Transmission was also relatively high among those with travel history within the State (9.1%), those that aquired tertiary education (3.8%) and self-employed (3.0%). The study associated imbalanced socio-economic distributions to a diverse range of COVID-19 transmission in the area and therefore advocated for improved policy on residents’ education and sustainable living.

COVID-19 感染和家庭传播的社会经济和人口决定因素:来自尼日利亚的案例研究

摘要

许多研究将疾病流行的动态与社会、经济和人口状况的差异联系起来,但尚不清楚是否相同的变量可以解释撒哈拉以南非洲部分地区 COVID-19 感染的空间分布。本研究评估了尼日利亚西南部典型行政州(一个相对典型的以种族为中心的社区)中 COVID-19 感染的空间传播与社会人口风险因素的关系。使用的数据是 40,300 户家庭的社会人口统计数据、收入变量、COVID-19 状态和旅行历史。分析数据的频率、流行率和空间分布。结果显示,COVID-19 病例在该州内分布不均。该州北部和东南部的病例数相对高于其他地区。与女性受访者 (2.4%) 相比,男性受访者的 COVID-19 病例流行率 (3.7%) 更高。传播在 70 岁以上 (3.5%)、丧偶 (3.3%) 和家庭成员在 6 至 10 人 (4.9%) 之间的受访者中最为突出。在该州有旅行史的人群 (9.1%)、接受过高等教育的人群 (3.8%) 和个体经营者 (3.0%) 中,传播率也相对较高。该研究将不平衡的社会经济分布与该地区各种 COVID-19 传播联系起来,因此提倡改进有关居民教育和可持续生活的政策。7% 的 COVID-19 病例与女性病例 (2.4%) 相比。传播在 70 岁以上 (3.5%)、丧偶 (3.3%) 和家庭成员在 6 至 10 人 (4.9%) 之间的受访者中最为突出。在该州有旅行史的人群 (9.1%)、接受过高等教育的人群 (3.8%) 和个体经营者 (3.0%) 中,传播率也相对较高。该研究将不平衡的社会经济分布与该地区各种 COVID-19 传播联系起来,因此提倡改进有关居民教育和可持续生活的政策。7% 的 COVID-19 病例与女性病例 (2.4%) 相比。传播在 70 岁以上 (3.5%)、丧偶 (3.3%) 和家庭成员在 6 至 10 人 (4.9%) 之间的受访者中最为突出。在该州有旅行史的人群 (9.1%)、接受过高等教育的人群 (3.8%) 和个体经营者 (3.0%) 中,传播率也相对较高。该研究将不平衡的社会经济分布与该地区各种 COVID-19 传播联系起来,因此提倡改进有关居民教育和可持续生活的政策。在该州有旅行史的人群 (9.1%)、接受过高等教育的人群 (3.8%) 和个体经营者 (3.0%) 中,传播率也相对较高。该研究将不平衡的社会经济分布与该地区各种 COVID-19 传播联系起来,因此提倡改进有关居民教育和可持续生活的政策。在该州有旅行史的人群 (9.1%)、接受过高等教育的人群 (3.8%) 和个体经营者 (3.0%) 中,传播率也相对较高。该研究将不平衡的社会经济分布与该地区各种 COVID-19 传播联系起来,因此提倡改进有关居民教育和可持续生活的政策。
