Methods: This study was conducted at the Makki Public Health Center, Lanny Jaya Regency using a quantitative method with a Cross-Sectional design. A total of 21 cases were used in the study. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test. Result: According to the findings of this study, low birth weight (p=0.002) was significantly related to the incidence of Pneumonia in children under five at the Makki Public Health Center, Lanny Jaya Regency. Meanwhile, occupancy density (p = 1.000), ventilation (p=0.1.000), and smoking behavior in the family (p=0.198), were not related to the incidence of Pneumonia in children under five at the Makki Public Health Center, Lanny Jaya Regency.
