Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Water scarcity and poor water quality could lead to suboptimum menstrual hygiene practices, and subsequently urinary tract infection (UTI) and bacterial vaginosis (BV). In this study, we estimate the prevalence of self-reported UTI and BV among indigenous adolescent girls during the water scarcity period in the Bandarban Hill Districts in south-eastern Bangladesh.
UNASSIGNED: Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 242 indigenous adolescent girls were selected and interviewed during the seasonal water scarcity period (from February to May 2022) in Bandarban. The difference in prevalence of any self-reported UTI or BV symptoms by respondents\' characteristics was assessed by χ 2 test. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to observe the associated factors.
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of self-reported UTI, BV, and any symptoms of UTI or BV among the respondents were 35.54%, 28.93%, and 43.80%, respectively. Ethnicity, studentship status, source of water used for menstrual hygiene, and perceived water quality were significantly associated with the prevalence of any self-reported UTI or BV symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: Findings recommend further research to cross-check the validity of self-reported prevalence and investigate if the episodes of UTI or BV could be attributable to water scarcity and poor water quality in study areas during dry period.

摘要：
■缺水和水质差可能导致月经卫生习惯欠佳，随后尿路感染（UTI）和细菌性阴道病（BV）。在这项研究中,我们估计了孟加拉国东南部BandarbanHill地区缺水期间土著少女中自我报告的UTI和BV的患病率。
■使用横截面设计，在Bandarban的季节性缺水期(2022年2月至5月),共有242名土著少女入选并接受了采访.通过χ2检验评估受访者特征的任何自我报告的UTI或BV症状的患病率差异。采用多因素logistic回归模型观察相关因素。
■自我报告的UTI的患病率，BV,受访者中有任何UTI或BV症状的占35.54%，28.93%,和43.80%，分别。种族,学生身份,用于月经卫生的水源，和感知的水质与任何自我报告的UTI或BV症状的患病率显着相关。
■研究结果建议进一步研究，以交叉检查自我报告的患病率的有效性，并调查UTI或BV的发作是否可归因于干旱期间研究区域的缺水和水质差。
