Abstract

Background: Indiscriminate waste disposal is a common practice in many cities of Sub-Saharan Africa and these unhealthy practices have made the region face severe environmental deterioration and health implications. The objective of this study is to assess the association between waste management practices and self-reported health outcomes among inner city dwellers in Osogbo.Method: The study is a cross sectional study carried out among 351 household heads using a semistructured interviewer administered questionnaire.Results: Majority (78.6%) of respondents had poor practice of waste management although, most showed concern on likely impacts of poor waste management. Most of them (81.8%) demonstrated positive attitude towards waste management and were willing to participate in organized waste management at low cost. Gender (X2 =7.217, P<0.05), income (X 2=12.140, P<0.05), occupation (X 2=29.034, P<0.05) and level of education were significantly associated with their poor waste management practices. Majority (74%) reported at least one ill health condition, practice and attitude were the major variables implicated in various ill health reported by the respondents.Conclusion: Poor waste management practices are strongly associated with ill health. Keywords: Solid Waste, Management, Self-reported health outcomes, Practices.
奥孙州奥索博内城的城市固体废物管理实践及其对健康的影响
背景:在撒哈拉以南非洲的许多城市,不分青红皂白地处置废物是一种普遍做法,这些不健康的做法使该区域面临严重的环境恶化和健康问题。本研究的目的是评估废物管理做法与奥索博内城居民自我报告的健康结果之间的关系。方法:采用半结构化访谈问卷对351户户主进行横断面调查。结果:大多数受访者(78.6%)的废物管理做法不佳,但大多数受访者对废物管理不善可能产生的影响表示关注。大部分受访者(81.8%)对废物管理持积极态度,并愿意以低成本参与有组织的废物管理。性别(X2 =7.217, P<0.05)、收入(X2 =12.140, P<0.05)、职业(X2 =29.034, P<0.05)、教育程度与不良废物处理行为显著相关。大多数人(74%)报告至少有一种健康状况不佳,行为和态度是涉及答复者报告的各种健康状况不佳的主要变量。结论:不良的废物管理做法与健康不良密切相关。关键词:固体废物管理自我报告健康结果实践
