Data of patients including age, education level and job was gathered by questionnaire and analysis of results was done by t student, chi square and Pearson correlation tests. Results: Prevalence of infection was 7% in the test group. Maximum frequent rates of infection was %3.13 in age group 2030 years and minimum in age group 30-40 years(% 0.87). The highest rate of total cholesterol levels was seen in age group 40-50 years (mean 215 /dL) and the lowest was in age group 10-20 years(mean 205 /dL).
