Previous issue date: 2008-08-20 / There was a significant decline in hospitalizations for acute diarrhea in children younger than 1 year of age in Brazil between 1992 to 2001. The less economically
developed state of Rio Grande do Norte is a case example of the national trend. In this work, we show a significant association between improvements in socioeconomic
variables as well as increased access to sanitation and the decreased rate of hospitalization. Additionally, we observed a positive, seasonal correlation between rainfall and hospitalizations. Most notably, however, we show that improvements in income and inflation were positively correlated with a decline in hospitalizations. Improvements in public health infrastructure, socioeconomic variables like education and literacy, and increased investment in health services were important in reducing severe early childhood diarrheas. However, the data suggests that increased buying
power and reductions in poverty played an equally crucial role in reducing hospitalizations for acute diarrhea in infants in Brazil. The work includes elements of the demography of the period for the age groups involved, children under one year,
women in fertile age and fertility rate / Entre 1992 e 2001 houve um decl?nio significativo dos internamentos por diarr?ia em lactentes no Brasil. O Rio Grande do Norte, um dos estados menos desenvolvidos do
Brasil, ? exemplo desta tend?ncia nacional. Neste trabalho foi observada uma associa??o significante entre as melhorias das vari?veis socioecon?micas e de acesso ao saneamento, com o decl?nio das hospitaliza??es por diarr?ia. Adicionalmente foi encontrada uma correla??o sazonal positiva entre chuvas e
internamentos por diarr?ia. Associa??o significante entre as vari?veis que monitoraram melhorias na renda e controle da infla??o com o decl?nio dos internamentos por diarr?ia foi tamb?m observada para o per?odo de estudo. Melhorias na infra-estrutura, educa??o, alfabetiza??o e aumento dos investimentos nos servi?os de sa?de foram importantes na redu??o da morbidade das doen?as prevalentes na inf?ncia. Os dados indicam tamb?m que a estabilidade do poder de
compra e redu??es dos n?veis de pobreza desempenharam papel igualmente crucial na redu??o dos internamentos por diarr?ia aguda em lactentes no Brasil
