In urban areas in Nouakchott, diarrheal diseases present a major public health problem, especially for children and adolescents. In August, 2008, a cross-sectional survey of 300 households in two adjacent districts of the city sought to study correlations between diarrheal disease and environmental health. The results show that 87 children of all ages had about 139 episodes of diarrhea, for an average prevalence of 14.8% that varied by age (23.6% in children younger than 5 years and 9.7% among children aged 5 to 14 years) and area (16.8% in Tevragh-Zeina and 28.3% in Sebkha). The univariate analysis indicates that 52% of the diarrhea risk was due to precarious basic hygiene. Studies of the specific causes of diarrheal diseases to help improve their treatment are necessary to supplement these epidemiological results.
在努瓦克肖特的城市地区，腹泻病是一个主要的公共卫生问题，对儿童和青少年尤为如此。2008年8月，对该市两个相邻区的300户家庭进行了一项横断面调查，旨在研究腹泻病与环境卫生之间的相关性。结果显示，所有年龄段的87名儿童发生了约139次腹泻，平均患病率为14.8%，患病率因年龄（5岁以下儿童为23.6%，5至14岁儿童为9.7%）和地区（特夫拉格-宰纳为16.8%，塞卜哈为28.3%）而异。单因素分析表明，52%的腹泻风险归因于基本卫生条件差。有必要对腹泻病的具体病因进行研究以帮助改善其治疗，从而补充这些流行病学结果。
