The relationship between personal and domestic hygiene behaviour and hospitalized childhood diarrhoea was examined in a case-control study of 356 cases and 357 controls from low-income families in metropolitan Manila. Indices of hygiene behaviour were defined for overall cleanliness, kitchen hygiene, and living conditions. Only the indices for overall cleanliness and kitchen hygiene were significantly associated with diarrhoea. An increasing excess risk of hospitalization with severe diarrhoea was noted as the ratings for standards of hygiene became lower, and this excess risk persisted even after controlling for confounding variables. The implications of our findings for the control of diarrhoeal disease are discussed.
在一项针对马尼拉大都会低收入家庭的356例病例和357例对照的病例对照研究中，研究了个人和家庭卫生行为与儿童住院腹泻之间的关系。定义了整体清洁度、厨房卫生和生活条件等卫生行为指标。只有整体清洁度和厨房卫生指标与腹泻显著相关。随着卫生标准评级降低，因严重腹泻住院的额外风险增加，即使在控制混杂变量后，这种额外风险仍然存在。讨论了我们的研究结果对控制腹泻病的意义。
