Abstract

Even though Indonesia has achieved elimination status, leprosy is still an important health problem in Indonesia because of its debilitating nature. East Java is one of the provinces with the highest leprosy burden in Indonesia, with a high percentage of children cases. Many factors are thought to affect leprosy transmission. Among them are nutritional status, personal hygiene, BCG vaccination history, and occupancy density. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status, personal hygiene, BCG vaccination history, and occupancy density with the incidence of leprosy in children in the Gresik Regency. This is an analytic observational research with a case-control approach. This research was conducted in December 2019. The number of samples were 60 respondents, consisting of 30 cases and 30 controls. The results of multivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between nutritional status (p = 0.041; OR = 9,628), history of BCG vaccination (p = 0.032; OR = 22,164) and occupancy density (p = 0.003; OR = 14,810) with leprosy in children. Nutritional status, personal hygiene, BCG vaccination history, and occupancy density are significantly associated with the incidence of leprosy in children, with occupancy density as the most significant factor and history of BCG vaccination as the strongest risk predictor associated with the development of leprosy in the pediatric population.
