<![CDATA[The number of deaths due to diarrhea caused by climate change is approximately 0.2%, and 85% of deaths among them are children. This research purposed to determine the relationship of climate with the incidence of diarrhea cases based on topography areas in two districts of West Sumatra from 2010-2014. This research used the ecological study design based on the time. Population and sample in this research was the incidence of diarrhea monthly data were recorded at the District Health Department for the years 2010-2014 (total sampling). Data sources using secondary data from District Health Department and Meteorological and Geophysics Station.
