In the combined sample, males were two times more likely than females to identify as G6PD deficient [13.3% (22/165) vs. 6.5% (10/155)] and more than two times more likely to be malaria-infected than females (6.87% vs. 3.12%; crude OR = 2.06; 95% CI, 1.01-4.22; p = <0.05). Here, G6PD is linked to malaria.
