The current study was a hospital based cross sectional study. In all the cases the association was statistically not significant (P value>0.05) when Compared with joint family. The odds of Rubella IgG positive was 0.656 times in nuclear family and the association was statistically not significant (P value>0.05) when Compared with number of children in three. The odds of Rubella IgG positive were 1.711 times in only 1 child, the odds of Rubella IgG positive in 2 children was 1.371 times.
