| Characteristics of individuals attacked | Total attacked individuals | Rabies-positive animals | PPR | CI | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | % | n | % | ||||
| Male | 124 | 68.9 | 78 | 62.9 | 0.94 | 0.46–1.9 | 0.85 |
| Female | 56 | 31.1 | 36 | 64.3 | 1.06 | 0.5–2.6 | 0.99 |

| >20 years old | 32 | 17.8 | 14 | 43.8 | 0.37 | 0.16–0.87 | 0.019 |
PPR = prevalence proportion ratio; CI = 95% confidence interval; PPR >1 = at risk; significant result = P <0.05.
