Background

: Dengue incidence has grown dramatically around the world in recent years. Vector control is the only method to reduce dengue incidence due to the lack of a vaccine available. By understanding the factors contributed to the vector densities such as environmental and sociological factors, dengue prevention and control may succeed.

Objective

: This study is aimed at determining the impact of sociological and environmental factors contributing to dengue cases.

Methods

: The study surveyed 379 respondents with dengue history. The socio-environmental factors were evaluated by chi-square and binary regression.

Result

: The chi-square results revealed sociological factors associated between family with dengue experience such as older age (p =0.012), fewer than four people in the household (p= 0.008), working people (p= 0.004) and apartment/terrace houses (p=0.023). Similarly, there is a significant association between respondent's dengue history and houses that are shaded with vegetation (p= 0.012) and the present of public playground areas near the residential (p = 0.011).

Conclusion

: The study identified socio-environmental factors that play an important role in the abundance of Aedes mosquitoes and also for the local dengue control measures.

社会和环境因素对马来西亚吉隆坡登革热感染的影响

背景

：近年来，登革热的发病率在世界范围内急剧增加。由于缺乏可用的疫苗，病媒控制是减少登革热发生率的唯一方法。通过了解影响媒介密度的因素，例如环境和社会因素，登革热的预防和控制可能会成功。

目的

：本研究旨在确定导致登革热病例的社会学和环境因素的影响。

方法

：该研究调查了379名具有登革热病史的受访者。通过卡方和二元回归评估社会环境因素。

结果

：卡方结果揭示了与登革热经历有关的家庭之间的社会学因素，例如年龄较大（p = 0.012），家庭中少于四口人（p = 0.008），劳动人口（p = 0.004）和公寓/露台房（p ＝ 0.023）。同样，受访者的登革热历史和被植被遮盖的房屋（p = 0.012）与居民区附近的公共运动场区域之间存在显着关联（p = 0.011）。

结论

：研究发现，社会环境因素在伊蚊的数量以及当地登革热控制措施中起着重要作用。
