incidence of diarrhea in children under five years old.

flies variable, p=0,003 and PR=1,623 for personal hygiene variable and p=0,034
and PR=1,158 for basic sanitation variable.
The high density of flies can be caused by bad environmental sanitation. Washing
hand’s habit using soap among respondent is very poor. That was because most
respondents have last educated in junior high school and lack of knowledge about
personal hygiene. The basic sanitation owned by respondent mostly in the category
