Population

176,111 reported cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) among children aged 9 years and younger across 2912 counties in China for May 2008.

Outcome

Monthly HFMD cumulative incidence

Child population density and climate factors are significant, spatially heterogeneous determinants of hand, foot, and mouth disease incidence in China, with population density exerting a greater influence than climate.
