- Abstract
Low birth weight has been a problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the association between mothers' and children's factors with the health status of children under two using a cross-sectional study in Padang City. A total of 189 children under two participated. Data was collected by a standardized questionnaire. The study found that low birth weight, visits to the health facility, and maternal age at risk were factors associated with children's health status. We suggest health education should be given to mother routinely among mothers to increase children's health status.
