What is the sickness prevalence in the slums of a metropolitan city?
To estimate the morbidity prevalence with reference to a socio-economic and demographic perspective of the slum population of Delhi.
A cross-sectional study was conducted and data were collected by a two-stage random sampling method. In the first stage, slum locations were selected and in the second stage households were selected.
Data were collected from 1049 households consisting of 5358 individuals' information.
The overall morbidity prevalence is 15.4%. It is 14.7 and 16.3% for males and females, respectively but the differences are not statistically significant. The reported higher morbidity prevalence and the illiteracy status are significantly associated. Diseases of the respiratory system appear to be very high among slum dwellers.
From this study, it can be concluded that the number of years of staying in the slum area, presence of a separate kitchen, type of house, it being Pucca or Kuccha, types of toilet pits or open defecation are the important environmental factors for the reports of higher morbidity patterns from the slum area.
大城市贫民窟的疾病患病率是多少？
从德里贫民窟人口的社会经济和人口统计学角度估计发病率。
进行了一项横断面研究，并通过两阶段随机抽样方法收集数据。第一阶段，选择贫民窟地点，第二阶段，选择家庭。
收集了来自1049户家庭、包含5358个人信息的数据。
总体发病率为1�.4%。男性和女性的发病率分别为14.7%和16.3%，但差异无统计学意义。报告的较高发病率与文盲状况显著相关。呼吸系统疾病在贫民窟居民中似乎非常高。
从这项研究可以得出结论，在贫民窟地区居住的年限、是否有独立厨房、房屋类型（是砖混结构还是土坯结构）、厕所类型或露天排便等是报告贫民窟地区较高发病模式的重要环境因素。
