Individual childhood factors include: child's age, birth weight, nutritional status, vitamin A, and immunization status. Behavioral factors include behavior to prevent and control CI in infants, or the active role of the family/community in fighting CI. Environmental factors include: indoor air pollution (cigarette smoke and high concentrations of cooking fuel smoke), house ventilation and residential density (Prabu, 2009).

Homes with parents who have smoking habits have the opportunity to increase the incidence of ARI by 7.83 times compared to homes where parents do not smoke in the house.
