What are the Epidemiological Patterns of Diarrhea?
Diarrhea exhibits distinct epidemiological patterns, often varying with age, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. Children under five years are particularly vulnerable, especially in low- and middle-income countries where diarrhea is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Seasonal variations are also observed, with higher incidence rates during warmer months in many regions due to increased bacterial growth and food spoilage.
