“…Whilst we did not find an association between household wealth and ARI unlike in other studies [48], our findings was in agreement with the findings of Woldeamanuel and Gebreyesus in Ethiopia [49]. Similarly, we did not observe an association between a child's mother's level of education and ARI contrary to other studies [30,48].…”

Background Diarrhoea and acute respiratory infection (ARI) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in children under-5 years old in Ghana. The aim of the study was to assess factors associated with diarrhoea and ARI in children under-5 years old. Methods We analysed nationally representative data from the 2017–2018 Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) on 8879 children under-5 years old. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the factors associated with diarrhoea and ARI. We applied sample weights, stratification and clustering to account for the sampling design of the MICS. Results The prevalence of diarrhoea was 17.0% (95% CI: 15.70, 18.24%). Children aged 6–11 months [Adjusted prevalence odds ratio (aPOR): 2.06, 95% CI: 1.45, 2.92], and 12–23 months (aPOR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.67, 3.35), had higher prevalence of diarrhoea compared to children aged 0–5 months. Children whose mothers had a college or higher education (aPOR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.78), and a secondary education (aPOR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.51, 0.86), had 59% and 34% lower odds of diarrhoea respectively, compared to children whose mothers had no formal education. Children from the richest households (aPOR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39, 0.86), had 42% lower odds of diarrhoea compared to children from the poorest households. Children resident in rural areas had 22% lower odds of diarrhoea compared to their peers in urban areas (aPOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63, 0.98). The prevalence of ARI was 33.3% (95% CI: 31.72, 34.82%). Children aged 6–11 months (aPOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.93), and 12–23 months (aPOR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.82), had higher prevalence of ARI compared to children aged 0–5 months. Conclusions This study suggests that the prevalence of diarrhoea and ARI among children aged 6–11 and 12–23 months was higher compared to children aged 0–5 months. Children under-5 years old whose mothers had a secondary or higher education had a lower prevalence of diarrhoea compared to children whose mothers had no formal education.

“…A study in Ethiopia stated that maternal education level was one of the risk factors associated with the incidence of ARI in children under five [25]. Maternal education is a factor that needs to be considered because there is a significant difference in the risk of ARI based on the mother's education level.…”

The morbidity rate of acute upper respiratory infection (ARI) in children under five is still relatively high in Indonesia. Many factors are thought to influence this incident. The present study analyzed the characteristics of mothers as predictors of the incidence of acute upper respiratory infection in children under 5 years old in Indonesia. Data from Indonesia Basic Health Research 2018 using a multistage systematic random sampling method. A total of 72,954 children aged 0-59 months and their mothers were examined. The incidence of acute upper respiratory infection is based on the results of the diagnosis from health workers and the symptoms experienced by the child during the last 1 month before the survey was conducted. Maternal characteristics include age, education, common mental disorders experienced, and depression. Area of residence and socioeconomic status were also analyzed. Analysis used logistic regression. Maternal mental health is a predictor of acute upper respiratory infection in children under five. Children of mothers with common mental disorders have a risk of 1.78 times higher than children of mothers without common mental disorders (95% CI: 1.543-2.059). Meanwhile, children with mothers with depression had a 1.78 higher risk than children with mothers without depression before being adjusted with other variables (95% CI: 1.544-2.051). Children under five with mothers who did not go to school or did not finish elementary school had a 1.53 times higher risk of experiencing acute upper respiratory infection than children with mothers with a diploma and above (95% CI: 1.163-2.013). Maternal education, maternal common mental disorder, and child age are predictors of the incidence of acute upper respiratory infection in children under 5 years old in Indonesia.

Introduction: Acute respiratory infections are still a major public health problem resulting in morbidity and mortality among under-five children. This study aims to assess the extent of respiratory symptoms and associated risk factors among under-five children in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out from February to June 2019. From 792 study participants, data were collected via face to face interviews by using a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire. Data were entered in Epi Info version 7 then exported to Stata 14.00 for analysis. Binary (Bivariable and Multivariable) logistic regression analysis was used to test the association of explanatory and outcome variables. Variables with p<0.05 were considered as significantly associated with the outcome variable.Results: The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among under-five children was 37.5% at [95% (CI: 34.3-41)]. Uterine irritability during pregnancy [AOR = 1.89 at 95% CI: (1.11-3.23)], physical exercise during pregnancy [AOR = 0.60 at 95% CI: (0.41-0.89)], using wood and coal for heating [AOR = 2.42 at 95% CI: (1.65-3.53)], cockroaches infestation [AOR = 1.95 at 95% CI: (1.36 – 2.90)], presence of new carpets [AOR = 2.38 at 95% CI: (1.33-4.29)], damp stain [AOR = 2.45 at 95% CI: (1.02-2.69)], opening windows during cooking [AOR = 0.58 at 95% CI: (0.36 - 0 .93)], living less than 100 m heavy traffic [AOR = 1.94 at 95% CI: (1.16-3.27)], and living less than 100 m (unpaved roads/streets) [AOR= 2.89 at 95% CI: (1.89-4.55)] were significantly associated with respiratory symptoms.Conclusion: The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among under-five children was relatively high in the study area. Personal and environmental characteristics influencing symptom occurrence were identified. Respiratory symptoms will be minimized by reducing exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution and enhancing housing quality.
