Overview

Cross-sectional study shows 33% prevalence of low birth weight in infants, highlighting maternal risk factors like inadequate antenatal care and nutrition.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of low birth weight in the studied population was 33%, indicating a significant public health concern.
  • Inadequate antenatal visits, fewer than four, were statistically linked to low birth weight with a p-value of 0.0002.
  • The observational study focused on 125 mother-infant pairs, assessing maternal demographics and pregnancy complications.
  • Improving prenatal services and maternal nutrition may significantly reduce the prevalence of low birth weight infants.
