Abstract
SUMMARYNo significant sex difference in the incidence of immunity to rubella at the ages of 20–25 was found in a comparative study of young adults from the Greater Athens area as well as from the rural department of Corinthia. The immunity to rubella of Greek adults on a national scale was then studied in a respresentative sample of 1200 males 20–25 years old. In 83·2% of them neutralizing antibodies to rubella were detected. A statistically higher proportion of immunes was found among those from urban areas. The factors responsible for the relative prevalence of immunity to rubella in various population groups are discussed.
