BACKGROUND: Infant and under-five children diarrhea in Indonesia is a health problem that seriously impacts death.
AIM: The main objective of this study was to determine the most significant factors that influence infant and under-five children diarrhea between the years 2012 and 2017.
METHODS: This study used data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey of 2012 and 2017 with a cross-sectional design. We modeled the infant and under-five of age children diarrhea as categorical dependent variable (diarrhea vs. no diarrhea of the infant and under-five of age children). At the same time, 14 covariates are used as an independent variable using χ2 statistic and multiple logistic regression (MLR).
FINDINGS: For infant diarrhea, television as an information resources showed the highest positive coefficient (OR = 1.966; β = 3.35; and p = 0.001) significant covariate for 2012. Higher mother education was negative correlation (β = –2.31 and p = 0.021) for infant diarrhea in 2017. For under-five children diarrhea, reading newspaper and magazine < 1 a week showed positive coefficients (OR = 1.059; β = 2.62; and p = 0.009) for 2012. Sex of household head female showed the highest positive coefficient (OR = 1.387; β = 2.82; and p = 0.005) for under-five children diarrhea in 2017.
CONCLUSIONS: The finding has important policy implications for infant and under-five of age diarrhea intervention programs. Thus, activities focus on the proper hygienic toilet, improving health information from newspapers, magazines, and TV.Downloads
