<![CDATA[Low Birth Weight is caused by short gestational age (prematurity), IUGR (Intra Uterine Growth Rection) or stunted fetal growth. Both of these causes are influenced by maternal and fetal risk factors. Both of these factors lead to reduced nutritional intake of the fetus during pregnancy. These risk factors cause a lack of fulfillment of nutrition in the fetus during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine risk factors for low birth weight (1) age (2) parity (3) nutritional status (4) gemelli pregnancy (5) prenatal check-up (ANC). This research was conducted on 40 mothers giving birth at dr. La Palaloi for the period January 1 2023 to January 31 2023.
