Abstract

We examined the relationship between paternal smoking and child mortality. Among 361021 rural and urban families in Indonesia, paternal smoking was associated with increased infant mortality (rural, odds ratio [OR]=1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.24, 1.35; urban, OR=1.10; 95%CI=1.01, 1.20), and under-5 child mortality (rural, OR=1.32; 95% CI=1.26, 1.37; urban, OR=1.14; 95% CI=1.05, 1.23). Paternal smoking diverts money from basic necessities to cigarettes and adversely affects child health; tobacco control should therefore be considered among strategies to improve child survival.
