Objective: describing the existing relationship between birth weight and some of the mother’s socioeconomic and biological variables.
Materials and methods:
A Cross-sectional study wasperformed.1,892medicalrecordswerereviewed concerning deliveries at ASSBASALUD ESE’s La Enea clinic from 1999 to 2005. The variable sstudied were the newborn’s birth-weight and gender and the mother’s age, education, socioeconomic status, origin, type of conjugal relationship and fillingin the Latin-American Perinatology Centre’s form (CLAP-Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología).
Results: low birth-weight prevalence was 4.4%. Being in an unstable marriage (p=0.03) and the new-born being female (p=0.00) were the variables having most statistical significance.
Conclusion: low birth-weight prevalence was less than that described in other Latin-America populations. No association was found with other previously-described factors.
