Results: Of 141,291subjectts,1,257(0.8%) subjectsever had hepatitis. In general, subjectswho had raising medium-sizedlivestockhad 83% more hepatitis risk comparedto who did not have raisingmedium-sizedlivestock [adjustedodds ratio (ORa)= 1.83;95% confidenceinterval (CI)= 1.61-2.09]. The highest risk (almost 2-fold) to be hepatitis occurred among who had corral inside the house for raising medium-sized livestock (ORa=1.98; 95% CI=1.47-2.66), and the least risk (38% more risk) to be hepatitis occurred among who had corral outside the house for raising medium-sized livestock (ORa=1.38; 95% CI=1.l4-1.67) compared with who did not have raising medium-sized livestock.
