Hubungan Kelayakan Sumber Air Minum Terhadap Kejadian Diare pada Anak Balita di Indonesia: Studi Cross-sectional Berdasarkan Data SDKI 2017
No full textBackground: Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of mortality in toddlers. One of its primary causes is associated with inadequate drinking water sources. However, studies exploring this relationship remain limited, necessitating further research to determine the association between the suitability of drinking water sources and the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional design was employed, using data on children under five from households included in the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI). The study examined the relationship between the incidence of diarrhea and the suitability of drinking water sources. Chi-square statistical tests and binary logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: A total of 14,428 household samples were analyzed, providing information on the suitability of drinking water sources and the incidence of diarrhea within the past two weeks. The study found that unsuitable drinking water sources were associated with a 1.2-fold increased risk of diarrhea (OR: 1.27; CI: 1.11–1.45). Conclusion: Inadequate drinking water sources are positively associated with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. Future research should utilize primary data and provide detailed definitions of eligibility categories
