Abstract

Background and Aim: Nowadays, the incidence of waterborne and foodborne diseases is increasing in the world because of several reasons. Hence, this study was conducted to analyze the data on the prevalence of waterborne and foodborne diseases in Kurdistan province. Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical study analyzed the outbreaks reported in Kurdistan province from 2011 to 2017. In this study, Chisquare test was applied to assess the relationships between the sources of the outbreaks (water or food) and the studied variables including age, sex, cause of disease, region, place of outbreak, time of outbreak, status of drinking water distribution network, and status of chlorination. STATA software Version 13 was used to perform the statistical analysis. Results: According to the results of this study, 90 cases (23. 08%), 261 cases (66. 92%) were made by water and food respectively, and 39 cases (10%) had an unknown source. Concerning the location 69 cases (76. 67%) and 21 cases (23. 33%) of waterborne outbreaks were in rural and urban areas respectively. Whilst, 147 (56. 32%) and 114 (43. 68%) cases of foodborne outbreaks were in urban and rural areas correspondingly. Also, a significant relationship was observed between the outbreaks and the rural and urban residency (p-value <0. 001). This study investigated the relationship between the frequency of waterborne outbreaks and the availability of drinking water distribution network and the results showed that 15 cases of outbreaks (39. 47%) occurred in households without access to the network and 23 outbreaks (60. 53%) occurred in households with access to water distribution network. There was a statistically significant relationship between the source of drinking water and the frequency of outbreaks (P <0. 001). Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, 66. 9% of the outbreaks reported in Kurdistan province were attributed to food and 23. 08% were made by drinking water. Hence, observing food hygiene during the preparation and cooking of food and monitoring the healthiness of drinking water resources have a significant role in reducing the prevalence of waterborne and foodborne outbreaks.
