Methods: The general methods and the operational definitions for water, sanitation and hygiene applied to the study were based on an environmental burden of disease study conducted by WHO. Eleven water-related diseases were selected. The attributable fraction for diarrhea was calculated by assessing local exposure levels to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene according the scenario-based approach. The attributable fractions for the other ten diseases were derived from the results of the environmental burden of diseases study. The attributable DALYs were measured by using the attributable fractions and local health statistics. Results: The total environmental burden of disease attributable to water, sanitation and hygiene for Korea was 0.9210 DALY per 1000 capitals. Of the total burden of disease, the attributable burden of diarrhea was 0.8863 (96.1%), the attributable burden of malaria and malnutrition was 0.0236 and 0.0063 DALY per 1000 capitals, respectively. There was little burden of disease measured for other diseases. Conclusions: This study is meaningful in re-assessing the environmental burden of disease using available local exposure data and health statistics. Quantitative analysis of the environmental risk factors and a health impact assessment would be helpful to prioritize health policies or interventions in the future.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"19767382","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2071508989","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.0,"citation_percentile":0.17331263,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[],"oa_status":"bronze","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"http://koreascience.or.kr:80/article/JAKO201126235931456.pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"http://koreascience.or.kr:80/article/JAKO201126235931456.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://ocean.kisti.re.kr/downfile/crosscheck/kehs/JAKO201126235931456.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.5668/jehs.2011.37.4.250","host_type":"journal"}],"fields_of_study":["Diverse Approaches in Healthcare and Education Studies","Diverse Topics in Contemporary Research","Medical Research and Treatments"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Environmental health","Sanitation","Disease burden","Attributable risk","Burden of disease","Medicine","Hygiene","Disease","Diarrhea","Disability-adjusted life year","Waterborne diseases","Public health","Psychological intervention","Malnutrition","Population","Outbreak"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Zero hunger"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T07:27:24.022559Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
