| 4. | Description | Résumé | This paper analyse the impact of residential nuisance on household health status in Cameroon. Multivariate models are applied on data from the Cameroon Household Survey (CHS 3) carried out in 2007 by the National Institute of Statistics (NIS). The results show that the most perceptible nuisances are: household pests such as cockroaches and mice and noise from neighbours. These nuisances explain 64.26% of residential nuisance and weakly deteriorate household health. On the contrary, the least perceptible sets of nuisances: household pests such as insects, ants and mosquitoes and noise from the transport network and trading activities multiply the probability of the degradation of household health status by 1.96 and 1.08 times respectively. These results have important implications for the implementation of public health policies to reduce health hazards caused by residential nuisance in Cameroon. |
