Objective To identify whether there are ethnic differences in cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) seroprevalence rates in children at 6 years of age, and when present, to evaluate how these differences can be explained by sociodemographic and environmental factors. Study design This study was embedded within a multi-ethnic population-based prospective cohort study. Serum IgG levels against CMV, EBV, and HSV-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 4464 children (median age 6.0 years). Information on demographics and characteristics were assessed by questionnaires. Herpesvirus seroprevalences between Surinamese-Creole, Surinamese-Hindustani, Turkish, Moroccan, Cape Verdean Antillean, and Native Dutch children were compared. Results Non-Western ethnicity was an independent risk factor for CMV (aOR, 2.16; 95% CI 1.81-2.57), EBV (1.76; 1.48-2.09), and HSV-1 seropositivity (1.52; 1.39-1.66). Among the ethnic groups, CMV seroprevalences ranged between 29% and 65%, EBV between 43% and 69%, and HSV-1 between 13% and 39%. Low family net household income, low maternal educational level, crowding, and lifestyle factors explained up to 48% of the ethnic differences in HSV-1 seroprevalences, and up to 39% of the ethnic differences in EBV seroprevalences. These factors did not explain ethnic differences in CMV seroprevalences. Conclusions Socioeconomic position and factors related to lifestyle explain only a part of the large ethnic differences in EBV and HSV-1 seroprevalences, whereas they do not explain ethnic differences in CMV seroprevalences in childhood.
