Overall, the prevalence of co-infections appeared to be age-dependent, showing a decreasing trend with increasing age ( p = 0.0003, χ 2 ).
Overall, the prevalence of co-infections appeared to be age-dependent, showing a decreasing trend with increasing age ( p = 0.0003, χ 2 ).
Nevertheless, this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p > 0.05), suggesting that both males and females are equally susceptible to co-infections with respiratory pathogens.
