Objective: Acute lower respiratory tract infections are leading cause of morbidity and mortality in under five children in developing countries. Hence presence study was undertaken to study various modifiable risk factor for acute lower respiratory tract infection in under five children. Study Design: Data collected from a observational study of eighty Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (ALRTI) cases of age group from 2 month to 5 year fulfilling WHO criteria of pneumonia to study various modifiable risk factor. Eighty healthy control of same age group also interrogated. Result: The significant modifiable risk factor were parental illiteracy, low socioeconomic status, overcrowding, partial immunization, pre lacteal feed, early weaning, malnutrition, parental smoking, history of respiratory infection in family and rickets. Conclusion: The present study has identified various modifiable risk factors for acute lower respiratory tract infection which can be tackled by effective education of community .Keywords
