Abstract:
Some environmental, social and natural factors exerted the impact on diarrhoea. Those included poverty (36,2%), low knowledge level (9,9%). 18% of participants had no latrine and 63,5% had no clean water. The incidence of diarrhoea in under five years old children estimated 26,07% for 2 years. Acute diarrhoea was correlated most significantly with the use of clean water, the knowledge and the practice of mothers, and with the use of hygienic latrine, economical conditions and the culture level
