description What is already known on this topic? A Latrine Revolution was conducted to promote the coverage of sanitary latrines, and this coverage has shown to increase significantly from 2006 to 2017. Sanitary latrines are an important strategy for reducing disease burdens associated with poor sanitation infrastructure. What is added by this report? Mortality of diarrheal diseases attributable to unsafe sanitation decreased from 7,748.05 in 2006 to 2,405.46 in 2017 and was correlated with increased use of sanitary latrines. What are the implications for public health practice? The coverage of sanitary latrines in rural areas of China should be further improved through the adjustment of policies and plans and by combining health education and hygiene promotion.
