title: Differentials in malaria prevalence, Kenya, 2010
linearized_input: Differentials in malaria prevalence, Kenya, 2010 | (Urban, 5) (Rural, 12) (Highland epi., 3) (Lake endemic, 38) (Coast endemic, 4) (Semi-arid, 1) (Low risk, 1) (Lowest, 15) (Second, 15) (Middle, 13) (Fourth, 8) (Highest, 3)
table_text: As shown in Figure 6.1, malaria is more than twice as prevalent in rural areas (12 per cent of children) as in urban areas (5 per cent). Results from the blood smear slides indicate that 38 per cent of children in the lake endemic zone test positive for malaria. This compares with 4 per cent in the moderate-to-low zone, 3 per cent in the highland epidemic zone and 1 per cent or less in the low risk or semi-arid/seasonal zones.
target: As shown in Figure 6.1, malaria is more than twice as prevalent in rural areas (12 per cent of children) as in urban areas (5 per cent).
