  1. PRa are adjusted for region: persons living in the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region (12.8 [11.4–14.4], PRa = 1.3 [1.0-1.6], p = 0.02) were more frequently infected than those living in Hauts-de-France region (taken as reference) (9.9 [8.4–11.7]). Those living in the Brittany (4.6 [3.3–6.3], PRa = 0.5 [0.4–0.7], p < 0.001) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (6.0 [4.9–7.4], PRa = 0.7 [0.5–0.9], p = 0.004) regions were less frequently infected.
