“…Concerning SRBD/ARI, mostly Northeast states like Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, and Yobe had higher rates, while most Southwestern states had lower rates. This corroborates the study by Adesanya and Chiao (2017) and Osayomi et al (2020), who found regional disparities in the prevalence of ARI between Nigeria’s northern and southern regions. These studies also reported a significant association between overcrowding and childhood respiratory infection.…”

Several studies have examined the impacts of water, sanitation, hygiene, and general housing conditions on childhood health in developing countries. However, up-to-date knowledge and change pattern in common childhood illness prevalence over time are scarce in Nigeria. To contribute toward meeting the Sustainable Development Goals three and six, we used pooled data ( N = 94,053) from the Nigeria Demographic Health Surveys from 2008 to 2018 to examine the trend and determinants of four childhood illnesses: diarrhea, fever, cough, and respiratory infection. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the determinants of the four health outcomes. Our results indicate that between 2008 and 2018, the prevalence of childhood diarrhea, cough, and fever slowly declined. However, there was a drastic decline in childhood-related respiratory illness. Housing conditions, sanitation facilities, and water sources were significantly associated with childhood illness based on the logistic regression analysis. Based on our findings, we recommend general improvement in housing conditions that can eradicate childhood cough, fever, and respiratory infections.

“…For example, overcrowding was the most significant underlying factor responsible for the pattern observed in Nigeria in 2020. This study examined the spatial distribution of ALRTI cases in children under five across the country and found strong spatial variation and hotspots (Osayomi et al, 2020). Household overcrowding also appears to explain why children under five in Bangladesh have one of the highest ALRTI rates in the world (Islam et al, 2021).…”

ObjectivesTo describe the frequency of hospitalizations of infants under 1 year of age with bronchiolitis in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and to study the spatial distribution of cases throughout the city in relation to socioeconomic indicators. To visualize and better understand the underlying processes behind the local manifestation of the disease by creating a vulnerability map of the city.MethodsWe performed a cross‐sectional study of all patients discharged for bronchiolitis from the local public Hospital in 2017, considering length of hospital stay, readmission rate, patient age, home address and socioeconomic indicators (household overcrowding). To understand the local spatial distribution of the disease and its relationship to overcrowding, we used GIS and Moran's global and local spatial autocorrelation indices.ResultsThe spatial distribution of bronchiolitis cases was not random, but significantly aggregated. Of the 120 hospitalized children, 100 infants (83.33%) live in areas identified as having at least one unsatisfied basic need (UBN). We found a positive and statistically significant relationship between frequency of cases and percentage of overcrowded housing by census radius.ConclusionsA clear association was found between bronchiolitis and neighborhoods with UBNs, and overcrowding is likely to be a particularly important explanatory factor in this association. By combining GIS tools, spatial statistics, geo‐referenced epidemiological data, and population‐level information, vulnerability maps can be created to facilitate visualization of priority areas for development and implementation of more effective health interventions. Incorporating the spatial and syndemic perspective into health studies makes important contributions to the understanding of local health‐disease processes.

“…Based on Riskesda 2013, the prevalence of ARI in children aged 1-4 years reached 25.8%. Environmental factors have a very large influence on the incidence of ARI, excessive dust content [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], air ventilation [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], lighting [16], and humidity [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] believed to be the cause of ARI, including ventilation which functions as an inlet and outlet of the air in the room. Natural or artificial lighting can directly or indirectly illuminate the entire room with an intensity of at least 60 Lux provided it creates glare.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of physical home sanitation against acute respiratory infections in children under five in Labuan Regency, Central Sulawesi. Method: This study was done in Labuan District, Donggala Regency, from July 31 to October 28, 2021, as an observational study with a Case Control Study technique. All children under the age of five who have ARI in the Labuan Health Center Work Area, Labuan District, Donggala Regency, are included in the study. The research was approved by the Makassar Ministry of Health Poltekkes Ethics Committee Number 1068/KEPK-PTKMKS/IX/2020 on the basis of its ethical feasibility. Results: The physical sanitation condition of the house that does not meet the requirements for dust content is 52.9%. Home ventilation 58.6%. The lighting conditions are 47.1% and the humidity of the house is 35.7%. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between dust levels and the incidence of ARI (p=0.000), ventilation conditions with the incidence of ARI (p=0.000), lighting with the incidence of ARI (p=0.001) and humidity with the incidence of ARI (p=0.005) in children. in Labuan District, Donggala Regency. The incidence of ARI is more common in children aged 0-2 years, and the incidence of ARI has no difference between male and female sexes. Multivariate analysis showed that dust content (p=0.000 CI95% OR=9.56) and ventilation (p=0.001 CI95% OR=6.08) were the main variables that caused ARI in children in Labuan District, Donggala Regency. Conclusion: The main variables causing ARI in children in Labuan District, Donggala Regency are dust content (OR = 9.56) and ventilation (OR = 6.08)
