Abstract:
Infant mortality is influenced by several factors, namely the consumption of
pregnant vitamins, births assisted by medical personnel, infant weight and health
services for babies after birth. The infant mortality rate in Riau Province is
currently 24 per 1,000 live births. This research was completed by using
generalized Poisson regression because, in infant mortality data, the data did not
meet the equidispersion property, where the mean data was not the same as the
data variance. The results showed that the significant factors causing infant
mortality were infant weight, family life behavior and vitamin consumption in
pregnant women.
