Table 2.

Epstein-Barr virus positive persons and mean of total RNA abundance by age group

Age group Number of persons Number of EBV positive persons Mean of total EBV RNA abundance in positive persons
Age < 60 216 43 1.585
Age ≥ 60 101 25 1.119

Difference in frequencies of EBV positive persons was not significant (two-sided Pearson’s chi-square test, p = 0.33). Difference in means was not significant (non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test, p = 0.16). Total EBV RNA abundance is shown as reads per million quality reads.
