- Abstract
- Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is an increasingly important public health issues in many developing countries. Neonatal death now accounts for about two-thirds of the eight million infant deaths that occur globally each year. It is welldocumented that low birth weight (LBW) is the most significant factor influencing NMR. This paper deploys regression analysis to explore the relationship between weight of low birth weight babies and various characteristics of mother. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between weight of low birth weight babies and mother's weight, age, gestation age and hemoglobin level.
