Abstrak

Low Birth Weight (LBW) remains a major public health problem associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal nutritional status and maternal age are important factors associated with LBW incidence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) status and maternal age with LBW incidence in the working area of Bira Public Health Center, Makassar. This study used an analytic observational design with a retrospective approach. The study was conducted in the working area of Bira Public Health Center with a total sample of 135 respondents selected using cluster random sampling. Primary data were collected through interviews using questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from Maternal and Child Health (MCH) books. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that the incidence of LBW was 29.6%. Mothers with CED had a 6.21 times greater risk of delivering LBW infants compared to mothers without CED (OR=6.21; p=0.000). Maternal age at risk (<20 years and >35 years) was also significantly associated with LBW incidence (p<0.05). In conclusion, CED status and maternal age are associated with LBW incidence. Strengthening nutritional interventions and reproductive health education for women of reproductive age is needed to reduce LBW incidence.
