Background.
Acute respiratory tract infection is the most common illness in childhood.
Ninety-five percent (99% of rural and 80% of urban) of households in Ethiopia primarily use solid fuel for cooking.
This study investigated the effect of household fuel use and house ventilation on acute respiratory infection in children, Wolaita-Sodo, Southern Ethiopia.
Methods.
A community based case-control study design was used, covering a sample of 1144 children with ratio of 1 : 3 (286 cases and 858 controls) aged between 0 and 59 months.
A case was defined as a child who suffered from cough, followed by short, rapid breathing in the last two weeks that preceded the survey, while control was defined as a child who had not any of the respiratory infection signs and symptoms.
Study subjects were recruited after a census from households.
Data were entered using EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results.
The proportion of children aged 1–3 years and 3–5 years was 76% and 24%, respectively.
Two-thirds of children lived in households that used solid fuels for cooking (charcoal 62.76% and biomass 24.73%).
The majority of households (83%) used open/traditional three-stone stoves.
Unclean fuel users for cooking (AOR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.03–4.22), poorly ventilated houses (AOR = 4.32, 95% CI 2.61–7.15), large family size (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.31–2.62), and carrying of a child while cooking (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.18–2.34) were significant risk factors of acute respiratory infection in children under five.
Conclusions.
Children from houses of unclean fuel sources and poorly ventilated houses were more likely to be affected by acute respiratory infection.
Using clean energy sources and improved stoves is highly suggested.
