Based on data from the Health Profile of Palembang City, pneumonia cases in slum areas and non-slum areas have the same prevalence of cases (4%). The cause of pneumonia can be caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the incidence of pneumonia in infants in the Slums and Non-Slum Areas of Palembang City. This study used a case-control study design. The population in this study was all children under five years old who lived in the Slums and Non-Slum Areas of Palembang City. The sample in this study was 84 samples with a ratio of 1: 1. The data analysis were analyzed with univariate and bivariate.

Whereas in the Slum Areas there was a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding (OR=8;CI 95%=1,790-35,774), nutritional status(OR=5,67;CI 95%=1,411-22,761), humidity (OR=6,9;CI 95%=1,702-28,026) and exposure to cigarette smoke (OR=5,4;CI 95%=1,226-24,261) with the incidence of pneumonia in children under five years old. exclusive breastfeeding and humidity were risk factors for the incidence of pneumonia in children under five years in the Slums and Non-Slum Areas of Palembang City.
