Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions, including Indonesia. The incidence of DHF is influenced by multiple risk factors, such as environmental conditions, vector density, population behaviour, and socio-demographic characteristics. Rapid urbanisation and population mobility in Bandar Lampung City may contribute to increased transmission risk. This study aimed to analyse risk factors associated with the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Bandar Lampung City in 2025. A quantitative analytic study with a case–control design was conducted involving DHF cases and non-DHF controls in Bandar Lampung City. Samples were selected using an appropriate sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, observation sheets, and secondary data from health records. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression to identify dominant risk factors. The results showed that several factors were significantly associated with DHF incidence, including environmental sanitation, presence of mosquito breeding sites, larval density, water storage practices, and household preventive behaviours (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified the presence of mosquito breeding sites as the most dominant risk factor for DHF incidence.
