背景急性下呼吸道感染（ALRI）是五岁以下非洲儿童死亡的主要原因。其中很大一部分可归因于固体燃料使用造成的家庭空气污染。方法我们在 2000 年至 2011 年间在撒哈拉以南非洲国家进行的人口统计和健康调查的汇总数据集中评估了烹饪习惯与 ALRI 之间的关系。主要烹饪燃料、烹饪地点和炉灶通风的影响分别在 18 个国家（n = 56,437）、9 个国家（n = 23,139）和 6 个国家（n = 14,561）进行了研究。我们使用因果图和多变量逻辑混合模型来评估协变量在个人、区域和国家层面的影响。结果主要烹饪燃料对 ALRI 风险具有统计显着影响（p
BackgroundAcute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) are a leading cause of death among African children under five. A significant proportion of these are attributable to household air pollution from solid fuel use.MethodsWe assessed the relationship between cooking practices and ALRI in pooled datasets of Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2000 and 2011 in countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The impacts of main cooking fuel, cooking location and stove ventilation were examined in 18 (n = 56,437), 9 (n = 23,139) and 6 countries (n = 14,561) respectively. We used a causal diagram and multivariable logistic mixed models to assess the influence of covariates at individual, regional and national levels.ResultsMain cooking fuel had a statistically significant impact on ALRI risk (p
