Regression models were created to examine the effects of sanitation, obesity, and low BMI on the burden of bacterial skin infections.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The percentage of population using basic sanitation services was positively associated with incidence, prevalence, and YLD from bacterial skin infections ( P < .05). After controlling for sanitation, in countries with more than 50% of the population using basic sanitation services, obesity was positively associated with incidence, prevalence, and YLD from bacterial skin infections ( P < .05). In countries with less than or equal to 50% of the population using basic sanitation services, low BMI was positively associated with incidence, prevalence, and YLD from bacterial skin infections ( P < .05).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Improving sanitation access in all countries, reducing the percentage of obese population in countries with good sanitation\/hygiene techniques, and addressing malnutrition in countries with poor sanitation\/hygiene techniques may help to reduce the burden of bacterial skin infections.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1203475420988857","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,28]],"date-time":"2021-01-28T01:28:10Z","timestamp":1611797290000},"page":"293-297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sanitation, Obesity, and Low Body Mass Index as Risk Factors for Bacterial Skin Infections"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5271-8127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pushkar","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1399-1838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suraj","family":"Muddasani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Alan B.","family":"Fleischer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1203475420988857","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pbio.1002533"},{"key":"bibr2-1203475420988857","unstructured":"Overview of Bacterial Skin Infections - Skin Disorders.
