“…Another factor that was revealed to be significantly related with malnutrition is the child’s birth interval. This result is consistent with the results of the study by Govender et al (2021) [ 34 ]. Child’s age was revealed to be significantly related with anaemia; similar results were observed in a study by Semedo et al (2014) [ 32 ].…”

“…Based on the fixed effects analysis, the mother’s level of schooling, the sex of the child, and the household wealth index are significant factors of malnutrition and anaemia. These results are consistent with other studies on child mortality [ 24 , 29 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. This indicates there is an urgent requirement for interventions to be implemented by policymakers in order to manage child mortality rates.…”

Notwithstanding the interventions implemented to address child mortality, anaemia and malnutrition remain a concern for the future of developing countries. Anaemia and malnutrition contribute a high proportion of the causes of childhood morbidity in Africa. The objective of this study is to jointly model anaemia and malnutrition using a copula geo-additive model. This study is a secondary data analysis where a Demographic and Health Survey of 2016 data from Angola, Malawi, and Senegal was used. The descriptive analysis was conducted in SPSS and the copula geo-additive model analysis was performed in R 3.63. The results showed that female children are notably associated with anaemia and a malnourished status (female estimate = 0.144, p-value = 0.027 for anaemia; female estimate = −0.105, p-value = 000 for malnutrition). The probability of each result decreased with an improvement in the mother’s level of schooling. This indicates an urgent requirement for interventions to be implemented by policymakers in order to manage children’s mortality rates. These interventions can include the introduction of educational programs for older adults, children’s dietary programs, and income generation initiatives (starting a small business, etc.). It is hoped that this paper can foster the utilization of copula methodology in this field of science with the use of cross-sectional data.

Background: Pneumonia is one of the top causes of morbidity in children younger than 5 years old. In Indonesia, pneumonia was the second leading cause of death in children under five years in 2017. The most important risk factors for pneumonia in children are malnutrition, household air pollution, non-exclusive breastfeeding, low birth weight (2500 g), overcrowding (≥ 7 or more person in the same household), and lack of measles immunization. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and pneumonia in under-five children in Sadewa Maternal and Child Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Analytical observational studies with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 191 subjects took part in the study. Observations of the nutritional status and degree of pneumonia were carried out in this study. Univariate and bivariate data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS version 25 software. Results: The majority of study subjects with pneumonia had normal nutritional status. Meanwhile, study subjects with severe pneumonia conditions had malnutrition nutritional status. The results showed that nutritional status was associated with pneumonia, with a p-value of < 0.05. Conclusion: There is a relationship between nutritional status and the severity level of pneumonia in children under five years old in Sadewa Maternal and Child Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
