Background: Malnutrition with various causes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. This study examined several risk factors related to underweight among children aged 24-59 months in province of Jambi in Indonesia. Methods: This analysis used a part of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2007 data in the province of Jambi in Indonesia among children aged 24-59 months. Underweight status calculation used WHO Anthro 2009 software based on weight for age indicator with limit value of Z < - 2 SD. Mother nutritional status was evaluated by body mass index (kg/m2) based on WHO category. Family socio-economic status was categorized by median of per capita income. Cox regression was used to analysis determinant factors of underweight. Results: The proportion of underweight children was 26.9% (206/766). Compared with normal nutritional status of the mother, the underweight mother had 20% more risk to have underweight children [adjusted relative risk (RRa) = 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.88-1.65; P = 0.250). However, children of overweight mother had 46% lower risk to have underweight children (RRa = 0.54; P = 0.003). In term of father’s occupation and family socioeconomic status, children with unemployed father or low family socioeconomic status had 37% (RRa = 1.37; P= 0.030) and 42% (RRa = 1.42; P = 0.004) higher risk to have underweight children, respectively. Children who had poor water source had 22% higher risk to be underweight. Conclusion: Underweight mothers had more risk to be underweight children; however, overweight mothers had lower risk to have underweight children. (Health Science Indones 2013;2:78-82)
