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

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
