Impact of adolescent pregnancy is closely related to risk of maternal and infant health. This study aimed to develop composite maternal index, infant index, and analyze impact of adolescent pregnancy on maternal and infant health. This study used Indonesian Health Demographic Survey 2012 data with a sample of 2,167 respondents qualified for inclusion (women of childbearing age giving birth to their first child since January 2007 until the survey was conducted). Analysis used Polychoric Principal Component Analysis to produce composite index of maternal and infant health, and logistic regression to determine relation of adolescent pregnancy to maternal and infant health. Results showed that index of maternal health can be determined by indicator maternal morbidity, access to health care, and health behaviors. Infant health index can be determined by infant morbidity and nutritional status indicators. Adolescents with higher education level had 5.4 times higher risk (95% CI = 1.3 – 22.0) to have worse maternal health than adult pregnancies. Adolescent pregnancy had a risk 1.3 times (95% CI = 0.9 – 1.7) to have worse infant health than adult pregnancies after controlled by occupation, socioeconomic, and region. In conclusion, the risk of adolescent pregnancy on maternal and infant health is worse than adult.AbstrakDampak kehamilan pada remaja erat kaitannya dengan risiko kesehatan ibu dan bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan komposit indeks kesehatan ibu, indeks kesehatan bayi dan untuk menelaah pengaruh kehamilan remaja terhadap kesehatan ibu dan bayi. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia tahun 2012, dengan sampel 2.167 responden yang memenuhi syarat inklusi (wanita usia subur yang pernah melahirkan anak pertama sejak Januari 2007 sampai survei dilaksanakan). Analisis menggunakan Polychoric Principal Component Analysis untuk menentukan komposit indeks kesehatan ibu dan bayi, serta regresi logistik untuk mengetahui besar hubungan kehamilan remaja terhadap kesehatan ibu dan bayi. Kesehatan ibu dapat ditentukan melalui indikator status kesakitan ibu, akses layanan kesehatan, dan perilaku kesehatan. Kesehatan bayi dapat ditentukan melalui indikator status kesakitan bayi dan status gizi bayi. Kehamilan remaja dengan status pendidikan tinggi memiliki risiko kesehatan ibu lebih buruk 5,4 kali (95% CI = 1,3– 22,0) dibandingkan pada kehamilan dewasa. Kehamilan remaja memiliki risiko kesehatan bayi lebih buruk 1,3 kali (95% CI = 0,9 – 1,7) dibandingkan kehamilan dewasa setelah dikontrol oleh pekerjaan, sosial ekonomi, dan wilayah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa risiko kehamilan remaja pada kesehatan ibu dan bayi lebih buruk dibandingkan usia dewasa.

INTRODUCTION: Fertility in adolescents is closely related to the incidence of early marriage which will have an impact on increasing the incidence of pregnancy in adolescents so that it will directly affect the health of mothers and babies. The younger the age at marriage, the higher the fertility rate. AIM: This study aimed to determine the relationship between contraception and fertility among ado­lescents. METHODS: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was adolescents aged 15–19 years in Indonesia. The total sample of 7,547 adolescents was selected from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). Multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent variable (contraception use) on the dependent variable (fertility) with education, work status, region, age at first sexual intercourse, economic status, and marital status as the controlled variables. RESULTS: Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to report the relationship between independent and dependent variables controlled by potential confounder variables. The results showed that the odds ratio of contraceptives users was 46 times compared to non-user after being controlled by confounding variables (AOR=4.8; 95%CI 33.857 – 441.046) after controlled by economic status, age at first exual intercourse, and marital status. CONCLUSION: The relationship between contraceptive use and fertility in adolescents is affected by confounding variables such as age at first sexual intercourse, economic status, and marital status. In addition, the odds ratio of contraceptives users was 46 times compared to non-users after being controlled by confounding variables.

BACKGROUND: Early marriage is a global problem that harms teenagers. The occurrence of early marriage in rural areas is a common practice. AIM: This study aims to determine the impact of early marriage on aspects of health, psychology, and economic status comprehensively based on the causes of early marriage in rural area. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional study design. The sampling unit of this study was early marriage families from three sub-districts in the Ponorogo district, namely Sawoo, Ngrayun, and Pulung. The number of samples used as many as 75 families. The variables in this study consisted of health, husband’s psychology, wife’s psychology, and economic status. The statistical test used polychoric Principle Component Analysis (PCA) analysis to obtain health, psychological and economic status variables derived from several indicators. RESULTS: The results of this study indicate that in the healthcare variable, it appears that most of the respondents do not experience bleeding, do not have abdominal pain, and do not hurt on contact. Based on the emotion variable, the wife is more emotional than the husband. The results of polychoric PCA are based on scores that are divided into two categories. The results of the polychoric PCA analysis show that most of the early married couples have worse health and economic conditions, namely, 55% and 65%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the psychological condition of husband and wife, most of them have good conditions, namely, 75% and 83%. CONCLUSION: The impact of early marriage which shows poor results is on the health and economic aspects.

Backgrounds: Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide. Pneumonia is the cause of mortality in an estimated of 922,000 children under age 5 in 2015, accounting for 15% of all deaths of children under five years old. The climatic conditions are complex and varied, had pneumonia a different impact in each country. The purpose of this study is to address the relationship between complications and childhood pneumonia. Methods: This research was a systematic review of the study literature. The review method follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist 2009. The number of articles that match the keywords is 254 articles and 8 articles that can be used. Results: Seven of eight article's differences show the relationship between characteristics and pneumonia in children. Conclusions: There is a relationship with the characteristics of pneumonia in children. (J Respir Indo. 2020; 40(1): 58-65)
