Impact of Weather and Climate on Diarrhea Incidence : A review

Abstract

Abstract Globally, diarrhea has become the cause of death for more than 1.31 million people worldwide. Likewise for developing countries, diarrhea is a cause of mortality and morbidity. Direct or indirect incidence of diarrhea. can be caused by climate change itself. With diarrheal disease itself as a health problem that must be watched out, because every incidence of diarrhea will be a cause of morbidity and mortality not only in developing countries but throughout the world, with such cultivation, climate change also increases the likelihood of an increase in the incidence of diarrhea disease. The method used is a systematic review. This article includes a combination of the terms and keywords “climate and diarrhea”, “Weather and diarrhea”. The review results from the available journals show that there is a significant relationship between weather and climate with the distribution of diarrheal disease. The results of tracing through journal reviews show that weather or climate change is a triggering factor in the incidence of diarrhea, the role of climate change on the distribution and transmission of diarrheal disease provides insight into this relationship as well as interventions that can be taken to take preventive measures. The conclusion presented is that countries in the world, especially developing countries, must prepare measures to prevent diarrhea that occurs seasonally as a result of climate change and prepare health information to control the incidence of diarrhea around the world.
