摘要

We geospatially assess food poisoning in Nariño, Colombia, between 2012-2019. A retrospective repeated cross-sectional study was carried out on 2,413 individuals to assess food poisoning in Nariño, Colombia, where Sociodemographic information and aspects of food poisoning characteristics were analysed. Causal agents of food poisoning were classified as biological, chemical or radioactive. Descriptive and geospatial analyses were performed, as well as a generalised linear modelling (GLM) to determine the association between cases of food poisoning and different factors. The mean annual incidence of food poisoning between 2012-2019 in Nariño county was 17 cases per 100,000. Municipalities such as Puerres, Córdoba and Contadero presented a higher incidence. Differences according to age and sex were observed. Based on GLM, seafood consumption and intake of food in public institutions significantly increased the risk of food poisoning. There were temporal and spatial variations of food poisoning in Nariño. Public health policies should aim to enhance food safety and safe practices of food workers in public institutions to avoid outbreaks and reduce the need for medical consultation, hospitalisation and treatment.
