ABSTRACT
Introduction: acute diarrheal disease is a common health problem in the population, especially in developing countries. It is a self-limited disease that is due to multiple etiologies.Objective: to identify risk factors for acute diarrheal disease in children under five.
Methods: a case-control study was conducted in Edgar Ramón Uzcátegui health area, Maracaibo municipality, Zulia state for 6 months. The case group was represented by 45 children that got sick with acute diarrhea, and the control group, by the same number of children who presented no disease in this period, in the same area, the same age and the same sex. Both groups were applied a survey of which data obtained were processed automatedly.
Results: there was predominance of acute diarrheal disease in children under 1 year, the type of lactancy was the predominant factor in the case group. The type of lactancy, domestic hygiene and early weaning behaved as high risk for the occurrence of acute diarrhea and by modifying or eliminating them the risk would be reduced considerably. The largest proportion of prevalence in those exposed was found in factor type lactancy and the author could infer that there was a direct relationship between the risk factors with the event.
Conclusions: risk factors associated with acute diarrheal disease in children under 5 years were: the type of lactancy used, domestic hygiene, early weaning, and age less than 1 year.
