study was to assess the association of maternal age, education level and family
income with low birth weight (LBW). The study was an observational study with
cross sectional design. The number of subject were 60 children under five years
old obtained by accidental sampling. The results showed that 18.3% of mothers
gave birth at high risk age (≤19 years old and ≥35 years old), 43.3% mothers
had education level of senior high school, 96.7% mothers were housewives, 54.2%
father’s occupation was self-employed, 71.7% of family income per month was
under minimum regional wage. 16.7% of infants with LBW. The bivariate analysis
showed that the incidence of low birth weight was not associated with maternal
age (p=0.371), there was no correlation between the incidence of low birth
weight with family income per month (p=0.709) and there was correlation between
low birth weight with mother education level (p=0.017). It can be concluded
that maternal age and family income per month was not associated with LBW,
while education level was associated with LBW.
