Diseases and injuries were diagnosed according to ICD-10. The associations between disease\/injury and socioeconomic conditions, sanitary practices, disease prevention proficiency, and preference to continued living on boats were analysed by logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Main results:<\/jats:bold> The prevalence rates of certain infectious and parasitic diseases, diseases of the respiratory system, diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, diseases of the digestive system, and injuries were 85.3%, 78.0%, 51.2%, 15.4%, and 13.2%, respectively. Various associations were seen between diseases\/injuries and socioeconomic conditions. Patterns of disease were strongly influenced by sanitary practices. Better disease prevention proficiency was significantly related to lower prevalence of the first three categories of diseases\/injuries regardless of sex, age, or socioeconomic status (p&lt;0.05, p&lt;0.001, p&lt;0.001, respectively). Diseases were more prevalent among people who preferred not to continue living on boats.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> This large scale comprehensive field study illustrated major diseases and injuries among people living on boats. Variations in health status showed a web-like relation of socioeconomic conditions, sanitary practices, disease prevention proficiency, and preference to continued living on boats.
