“…[37] However, the present study found a rate of hospitalizations due to diarrhea of 2.6% in the year prior to the interview, a similar finding of persistence of avoidable hospitalizations due to this disease which was showed in other studies of the same nature. [10,19] Male children were more likely to be hospitalized due to diarrhea. According to Boccolini et al (2012), boys tend to have more health problems in childhood, to remain hospitalized longer, to have a higher prevalence of prematurity, and to be weaned earlier than girls in Brazil.…”

“…[7] Studies evaluating the prevalence of childhood diarrhea frequently analyze samples from children under five years of age. [10][11][12] However, children under two are more vulnerable to gastrointestinal infections, [2,[13][14][15] because they have a maturing immune system and because of specific conditions related to physical growth and neuropsychomotor development that result in a physiological vulnerability to illness. [16,17] Therefore, early childhood is the most opportune time to intervene and prevent long-term consequences of poor health outcomes, such as diarrhea and hospitalization.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea and to identify factors associated with diarrheal disease and related hospitalizations in children less than two years old in Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 1,902 children who were participants in the 2006 National Demographic and Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher -PNDS 2006). To collect data, children's mothers were interviewed. The prevalence of and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea were calculated for the two weeks before the interview and for the last year, respectively. Logistic regression models were fitted to identify the prevalence of diarrhea and the risk factors associated with diarrhea occurrence and related hospitalizations. A complex sample statistical technique was applied for all analyses. Results: The prevalence of diarrhea and hospitalization rate due to diarrhea were 11.9% and 2.6%, respectively. Children living in the North and Northeast regions had a greater risk of diarrhea, while children under 12 months old, those who were receiving age-appropriate exclusive breastfeeding and those with mothers greater than 35 years old were protected against the disease. Male children living in households that did not have a land-floor in the North and Northeast regions had a higher risk of hospitalization due to diarrhea, while children of mothers who had a higher education level (> 4 years) were protected against it. Conclusion: Diarrhea is still a public health problem for children under two years old in Brazil, especially in the North and Northeast regions. Diarrhea control and prevention programs should inform young mothers with lower education levels about children's healthcare, including the benefits of breastfeeding.

“…Nevertheless, despite these limitations, the results presented here are consistent with those of other studies carried out in the same region. 2,4,14 Considering that a residual number of avoidable deaths from diarrhea are still occurring among children less than 5 years old, it is of interest to identify which groups are currently at risk and what the risk factors are today. Our results indicate that the age of greatest vulnerability has increased and that it is probable that the agent most frequently associated with death from diarrhea has changed.…”

“…Over recent decades we have witnessed a significant reduction throughout Brazil in childhood morbidity and mortality due to diarrheal disease, 1,2 and one that has occurred in line with improvements in socioeconomic, demographic and health indicators. The most significant of these improved indicators are the increased coverage of basic sanitation, the reduction in infant malnutrition, and the increases in vaccination coverage, 3 breastfeeding and the educational level of mothers and also increased access to health services, oral rehydration treatment and information, 4 all of which have been identified by several studies as being linked with the behavior of this disease.…”

Objective: To analyze the trend in mortality due to diarrhea among children under 5 in the town of Osasco (SP), Brazil, between 1980 and Methods: This is a descriptive observational study with two different designs, the first using individuals as the unit of study, and the other ecological, using groups of individuals as units of observation and including time series analysis. due to diarrhea and the differences between districts during the 1990s.Results: There were a total of 1,360 deaths, 94.3% of which were before 1 year of age and 75.3% of which were before 6 months. There was a 98.3% reduction in mortality and the period of peak mortality shifted from summer to autumn/fall. The median age at death increased from 2 months at the first three quinquenium of study to 3 months at the last. The residual deaths were among the children of mothers aged 20 to 29 years and of mothers who had spent less than 8 years in education. The relative risk between the worst-affected district and the average rate for the town reduced from 3.4 to 1.3 from the first 5 years of the 1990s to the second half of the decade. Conclusions:Our results demonstrate an increase in the age of greatest vulnerability and indicate that it is probable that the agent most often linked with mortality due to diarrhea has changed.
