By Tarun Sai LomteMay 31 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent study published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report explored the differences in rural and urban mpox incidence in the United States .
The study and findings In the present study, researchers examined the differences in the urban and rural incidence of mpox in the US. Jurisdictional health departments reported data on probable and confirmed cases of mpox. Analysis was restricted to individuals aged 15-64 because most cases were in this age group and to limit bias due to differential age distribution. Estimates were stratified by gender, race or ethnicity, and month. Risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals were computed between groups.
There were more cases among White individuals in rural and small urban counties than in other counties. The highest rates among cisgender males or females were in large central urban counties; rates were lower in small urban counties. Mpox incidence was higher among cisgender males than in cisgender females across all urbanicity levels, with the highest difference in incidence in large central urban counties and the lowest in rural areas.
