Quantitative study reveals maternal age and weight gain impact low birth weight risk in mothers, suggesting targeted interventions are vital.

The predictive model indicates that maternal age positively influences birth weight, while excessive weight gain negatively impacts it.
Among three maternal characteristics, maternal weight gain showed the strongest relationship, with p-value at 0.004.
Using multiple linear regression, the study assessed 265 respondents to build the predictive model to aid healthcare providers.
This model, explaining 46.4% of birth weight variation, can assist in early screening for low birth weight risks.

Nurhasanah et al. (2025) studied this question.
