Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Even though podoconiosis can cause physical, financial, and social impairments, it is commonly overlooked by organizations, and one-fourth of the predicted worldwide burden will fall on Ethiopia. In spite of this, there are only a few attempts for prevention and control in certain areas in Ethiopia. Updated statistics on prevalence and contributing factors could make local efforts at prevention, control, and rehabilitation more effective. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the prevalence of podoconiosis and its associated factors among Ilu Aba Bor zone residents, South West Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 491 participants from March 25 to April 25, 2022. Data were entered into Epi-Data version 4.6.0, then exported to SPSS version 25 for final analysis. In the bi-variable regression, variables with P-values less than 0.25 were included in the multivariable model. Finally, multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with podoconiosis at a 5% level of significance.
UNASSIGNED: In this study area, podoconiosis prevalence was found to be 5.7% [3.6-7.2]. In multivariable regression model, lower tertile wealth status [AOR=2.09; (95% CI (1.384, 5.343)], no formal education [AOR=2.23; (95% CI; 1.179-3.820)] and average distance to reach water source to home [AOR=2.061; (95% CI: 1.78-7.35)] were significantly associated podoconiosis.
UNASSIGNED: According to this study, one in every seventeen individuals had podoconiosis, which is a significant prevalence when compared to earlier studies. Podoconiosis was observed to be associated with factors like wealth status, educational attainment, and distance from water source. To address this public health issue, strong preventive and therapeutic treatments should be used.

摘要：
■即使足孢子病可以引起身体，金融,和社交障碍，它通常被组织忽视，预计全球负担的四分之一将落在埃塞俄比亚身上。尽管如此,在埃塞俄比亚的某些地区，只有很少的预防和控制尝试。关于流行率和影响因素的最新统计数据可以使地方努力预防，control,康复更有效。因此，本研究旨在评估IluAbaBor地区居民的足球虫病患病率及其相关因素，埃塞俄比亚西南部。
■于2022年3月25日至4月25日对491名参与者进行了基于社区的横断面研究。将数据输入Epi-Data版本4.6.0，然后导出到SPSS版本25进行最终分析。在双变量回归中，P值小于0.25的变量包括在多变量模型中.最后,进行了多变量逻辑回归，以5％的显着性水平确定与足斜症相关的因素。
■在本研究领域，足球虫病的患病率为5.7％[3.6-7.2]。在多元回归模型中，较低的三元财富状况[AOR=2.09；（95%CI（1.384，5.343）]，无正规教育[AOR=2.23;(95%CI;1.179-3.820)]和到达水源到家的平均距离[AOR=2.061;(95%CI:1.78-7.35)]与足突病有显著相关性.
■根据这项研究，每十七个人中就有一个人患有足孢子虫病，与早期研究相比，这是一个显著的患病率。据观察，Podosoniosis与财富状况等因素有关，教育程度,与水源的距离。为了解决这个公共卫生问题，应使用强有力的预防和治疗方法。
