FACTORS RELATED TO PNEUMONIA IN TODDLERS (ADVANCED ANALYSIS OF 2018 RISKESDAS RESULTS DATA FOR SOUTH KALIMANTAN PROVINCE)

Abstract

Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) shows that the prevalence of pneumonia in toddlers in Indonesia has increased from 2013 which was originally only 1.85% to 4.8% with a mortality rate of 0.08 % in 2018. This study aims to explain the factors associated with the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers in South Kalimantan based on the 2018 Riskesdas data. The research design used was cross-sectional. Data analysis was carried out by bivariate test using chi square test. The results showed that there was no relationship between ventilation area in the main bedroom (p-value=0,417), main bedroom lighting (p-value=0,489), immunization status (p-value=0,872), vitamin A intake (p-value=1,000), and birth weight (p-value=1,000) with the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers. The conclusion of this study is that ventilation, lighting, immunization status, vitamin A intake, and birth weight are not related to the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers.
