Abstract :
Palembang has the highest rate of under-five pneumoniae in South Sumatra, which
is influenced by the social environment, meteorological and air quality. A poor
social environment can lead to low life expectancy and meteorology can affect the
removal of pollutants that cause pneumoniae, NO2 and SO2 can affect lung function
as they have effects on inflammatory and allergic responses. The purpose of this
study was to determine the environmental risk factors associated with the incidence
of under-five pneumoniae in Palembang City in 2017-2021. The samples used were
all 18 sub-districts in Palembang for 5 years with a total of 90 samples. This study
is a analytic quantitative research with a correlational study design and used
secondary data obtained from Dinkes, BPS, BMKG and DLHK of Palembang. Data
analysis used univariate, bivariate using Pearson correlation and multivariate
using Multiple Linear Regression. The results had a significant relationship with
the incidence of under-five pneumoniae were air temperature (p=0.040), rainfall
(p=0.049), and SO2 (p=0.024), for the value of the coefficient of determination (R2)
multivariate analysis 0.193 means that this regression model can explain 19.3% of
the incidence pneumonia under five children for climatological. Suggestions to the
Dinkes are to optimize monitoring and recap monthly data, interventions to prevent
the transmission of pneumoniae, for BMKG advice to improve climatological
monitoring activities and make policies on the use of gasoline to minimize global
warming, suggestions to DLHK to optimize monitoring of emission tests for
vehicles and industrial exhaust fumes for further research, it is recommended to
carry out research in an observational and use primary data.
