Prevalence was higher in males (0.23% (0.2-0.27%)) than females (0.14% (0.12-0.16%)) producing a male: female sex ratio of 1.8 (1.7-1.9). Prevalence peaked in the 20-24 years age group at between 0.4% (0.3-0.6%) and 3.4% (2.8-4.2%) in males across regions, and between 0.2% (0.16-0.4%) and 1.9% (1.5-2.4%) in females. It decreased steadily with age thereafter.
