A total of 6285 persons residing in 1090 households in three Jhuggi clusters of Delhi were studied for incidence of diarrhoea by 2 weeks recall method and environmental and behavioural factors affecting it. Overall incidence of Diarrhoea was 29.1 per thousand persons, and was selectively predominant among under fives (60.2 per thousand). This low incidence of diarrhoea could be attributed to safe drinking water availability and common practice of handwashing by most of the people. But unsafe storage of drinking water at household level (70.5%) and peridomestic open air defaecation by children (22.9%) are potential threat for transmission of the disease.
通过两周回忆法，对德里三个棚户区集群中1090户家庭的6285人进行了腹泻发病率以及影响腹泻的环境和行为因素的研究。腹泻的总体发病率为每千人29.1例，在五岁以下儿童中选择性地更为普遍（每千人60.2例）。腹泻发病率低可归因于大多数人可获得安全饮用水以及普遍的洗手习惯。但是家庭层面不安全的饮用水储存（70.5%）以及儿童在住家周围露天排便（22.9%）是该疾病传播的潜在威胁。
