Discussion

Case control study identifies maternal age as a key risk factor for low birth weight, suggesting improved antenatal care strategies.

Maternal age emerged as the most significant predictor of low birth weight, with a notable odds ratio of 6.69.
Of 95 postpartum mothers, a case-control analysis revealed that other factors like parity and anemia were not significantly linked to low birth weight.
Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed through multivariate logistic regression, yielding insights into maternal health.
The findings highlight the necessity for targeted interventions in high-risk maternal age groups to mitigate low birth weight risks.

Sari et al. (2025) studied this question.
