2. The prevalences by social strata was 15.2%/(127 out of 838) in school students and 50.5% (105 out of 208) in inhabitants of Wando islet and 64. 5% (20 out of 31) in pre-school children, 45. 8% (76 out of 166) in primary school children, 26. 5% (39 out of 147) in middle school students and 57.0% (90 out of 158) in inhabitants of Bogil islet.
