This study aimedto analyze the relationship between levels of VCAM-1 and history of low birth weight among childrenaged 15-18 years old.Methods: A historical cohort study was conducted to senior high school students in Surakarta in July2010. A Sample of students aged 15-18 years were selected by fixed exposure sampling.

With the 1:3 ratio obtained, thetotal study subjects were 28. Children with history of low birth weight had VCAM-1 mean level of 224.6ng / ml higher than those with normal birth weight (b = 224.6, p <0.001), after controlling for obesity.Conclusion: VCAM-I is associated with history of low birth weight.
