Dominant Factors Associated with Low Birth Weight in Newborn
The leading causes of neonatal or neonatal death in the world according to WHO, 2015 are low birth
weight (LBW) 29%, sepsis and pneumonia 25%, asphyxia and trauma 23%. The incidence of BBLR in
Blahbatuh II UPTD increased from 2017 to 2019. This study aims to determine the dominant factors
associated with the incidence of LBW in the UPTD Puskesmas Blahbatuh II workspace. This study used
an observational analytical design through a cross-sectional approach. The data used are secondary data
from a retrospective cohort. The population of this study was all mothers born in the UPTD Puskesmas
Blahbatuh II work area in 2019, a total of 137 respondents. Sampling technique with Total Sampling. Data
analysis in this study used the chi-square test to prove the association of the factors causing LBW and
multiple logistic regression tests to determine the most influential factors on the incidence of LBW. The
results showed a significant association for 2 variables, antenatal examinations and nutritional status during
pregnancy, while the variables maternal age, gestational distance, parity, Hb levels and maternal education
have no significant association with the incidence of LBW. Multivariate analysis showed that the most
important factor between nutritional status during pregnancy and ANC visits affecting LBW in the UPTD
Puskesmas Blahbatuh II workspace was nutritional status during pregnancy. The Anova analysis test
showed that the effect of nutritional status on LBW is 66.67% and the effect of ANC visits is 2.71%. It can
be concluded that maternal nutritional status affects LBW more than ANC visits.
