Abstract
The attendance rate at Rangoon dispensaries per 1,000 population in the city, for diarrhoea and for dysentery has been calculated for each month over the period 1964-67 and the effects of climatic factors, mango supply and total attendances for all illnesses examined. No effect for the 5 climatic factors could be demonstrated nor for the total attendances for all ailments. Mangoes exerted a marked effect on the incidence of diarrhea and a smaller effect on the incidence of dysentery. All variation in the incidence of diarrhea between the 12 months of the year was accounted for but there remained some variation in the incidence of dysentery between the months after the effects of all other factors had been removed. Between the 4 years of the study there remained variation in the incidence of both disorders due to some factor (s) not considered in this investigation.
