Table 3.

Incidence of filarial attacks among study participants

	Gender
Do you get attacks?	Female n (%)	Male n (%)	Total	Fischer exact test (P- value)
Yes	91 (91%)	42 (100%)	133 (93.7%)	0.058
No	9 (9%)	0 (0%)	9 (6.3%)
Total	100 (100%)	42 (100%)	142 (100%)

The table above shows the reported incidence of filarial attacks among male and female lymphedema patients. Generally more females reported attacks. However, the reported incidence of attacks between male and female respondents was statistically independent as shown by the Fischer exact test (p = 0.058)
