| 753 BC–476 AD | Regular bathing is a distinctive feature of the Roman civilization.[1] | Italy | |
| 200 BC–450 CE | Several Hindu texts, such as the Manusmriti and the Vishnu Purana, describe elaborate codes of hygiene. Bathing is one of the five Nitya karmas (daily duties) in Hinduism, and not performing it leads to sin, according to some scriptures.[2] | India | |
| 1975–1980 | Sleep hygiene is developed as a recommended behavioral and environmental practice intended to promote better quality sleep. This recommendation is thought as a method to help people with mild to moderate insomnia. However, as of 2014, the evidence for effectiveness of individual recommendations is "limited and inconclusive".[3] | ||
| 1989 | British epidemiologiist David P. Strachan develops the hygiene hypothesis, which states that there is an inverse relationship between family size and development of atopic allergic disorders – the more children in a family, the less likely they are to develop these allergies.[4][5] | ||
| 1990 | "The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) has produced regular estimates of national, regional and global progress on drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) since 1990. "[6] | ||
| 2000 | 1229 million people worldwide practice open defecation.[6] | ||
| 2015 | OriFuji is introduced as an automatic toilet paper dispenser. The device automatically cuts the toilet papers and folds them into a neat triangle shape, making it easier for the next person to pull and roll out the paper.[7] | Japan | |
| 2015 | 892 million people practice open defecation[6] |
