Abstract
A massive number of Literature is accessible focusing only on the
general concern of climate change ignoring the cost valuation of the
association between environmental change and #human health. Establishment
of environment-disease relationship leading to economic consequences is
found timely and apposite research at this moment. Therefore, this
paper aims to establish environmental-health relationship and its impact
on household economy through cost of illness in western part of Nepal.
Time series analytical economic evaluation design is employed using
secondary data to establish environment-#disease relationship with the
help of ordinary least square, being based on the econometric theory.
The results divulge that environmental variables such as extreme summer
temperature warm winter temperature and population density are in favor
to increase the disease prevalence, whereas, increasing winter rainfall,
immunization #coverage and vitamin A coverage among children seemed to
reduce the disease prevalence in western Nepal. Similarly,
disease-environment relationship showed that 10C increase in
temperature increases the disease prevalence at least by 5% in the #existing rate of prevalence in western Nepal, controlling other
variables.
