Titres of anti-tetanus toxin antibodies > or = 0.1 IU/ml were determined using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in representative samples of the juvenile and adult population of Catalonia. The prevalence obtained in 1,316 juveniles and 1,296 adults was 99.4 and 68.3%, respectively. In adults, the prevalence in males (76.5%) was higher (P < 0.001) than in females (61.7%), fell with increasing age and was higher in subjects born in Catalonia (72.5%) than in those born outside Catalonia (57.9%) (P < 0.001). These results show that routine vaccination of children is successful. In adults aged > or = 45 years, the prevalence is inadequate and efforts should be made to increase vaccination.
