Figure 1.
Comparison of the proportions of index cases and positive contacts by age group.
Proportions represent the total number of individuals in each sample that belong to each age group, as a proportion of the total sample size, and are plotted in percentages above each bar. The proportions were statistically compared using two-sample z-tests. Statistical significance is indicated above the error bars: p > 0.05 (ns), p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.001 (***), p < 0.0001 (****).
