Abstract: Diarrhea remains a major health issue in developing countries, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Determining the incidence of acute diarrhea in children and its associated factors is crucial to the planning of preventive approaches. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of diarrhea and to assess some relevant associated factors to it in children younger than 40 months living in two slums of Salvador, Brazil. This is the first prospective cohort, community-based study that was perfor… Show more

“…In estimating child-time at risk, participants were censored 4 days after each episode to account for mean illness duration. [32][33][34] Diarrheal episodes with repeat visits were excluded. Children absent from surveillance for .45 days were censored at the time of their last recorded contact, and if subsequently seen were re-entered into follow-up at that time.…”

“…These figures show the presence of an important prevalence of early termination of breastfeeding that can contribute to higher rates of diarrheal diseases. Studies show that early termination of breastfeeding is one of the factors associated with diarrhea episodes in babies under one year (24) . Additionally, early termination of breastfeeding (before 12 weeks) can have outcomes on infants' health until 18 months of age (25) .…”

“…Nonetheless, Figure 4 shows that even when a relatively large number of studies are carried out, they still tend to focus on a relatively small subset of the areas where slums exist, which may not necessarily represent all slums in that particular country. In Brazil, for example, large slum populations have also been reported in the districts of Bahia (e.g., [144][145][146]) and Minas Gerais (e.g., [147]) for which published studies using H/VH-R imagery have not been found. Similarly, in India, as shown in Figure 5, slums are not confined to any one state or administrative district, rather, they can be thought of as existing on a continuum with some locations more susceptible to the presence of slums than others as discussed in Mahabir et al [6].…”
