The results of the Chi-Square statistical test obtained (p-value<0.05) mean that the physical environment of the house and parental habits are associated with the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers, namely ventilation (p-value=0.001), temperature (p-value=0.020), lighting (p-value=0.012), humidity (p-value=0.003), occupancy density (p-value=0.022), the habit of opening windows (p-value=0.003) and smoking habits (p-value=0.0036).
