| Sumario: | This study identified the cleanness and sanitary conditions of the town and the appearance of gastrointestinal diseases in the population between 0 and 15 years old. A cross sectional quantitative descriptive study was done; a survey was applied in 90 homes and Chi Square Statistics and Odds ratio were used to determine the relationship of variables with the appearance of diarrhea in the population between 0 and 15 years old. Three hundred fortynine people live in the homes where the survey was applied; 116 (33%) are between 0-15 years old; 66 cases of Acute Diarrheal Disease (ADD) were reported and 66.7 % of them correspond to the population aged 0-15. The presence of municipal cleaning service, location of the storage tank, location of the kitchen within the home, sink separated from other areas and disposition of excreta were the variables statistically related with the appearance or diarrhea in this population. |
