Low birth weight (LBW) predisposes physical and mental growth failure and premature death among infants. Studies report that LBW predominately explains infant mortality.

The results of this review represent a preliminary attempt to summarize the literature linking macro-level economic and social policies in rich nations with IMR and LBW. The findings, taking account of the methodological limitations of the review and of …

2023年2月21日 · The current findings showed the significant association of LBW with infant deaths, highlighting the importance of prioritising policies that help improve the birth weight of new-born children that may significantly reduce the infant mortality in India.

PTB is closely linked to low birth weight (LBW) and very low birth weight (VLBW)—infants weighing less than 2,500 grams and 1,500 grams, respectively. Globally, LBW infants have a 20 times higher risk of death than heavier infants .

Background: The infant mortality rate (IMR), low birth weight (LBW) rate, and first trimester entry into prenatal care (PNC) are indicators that reflect the health of a population. Objective: To examine these indicators in Wisconsin from 1979 through 2001 and compare them to those of the United States, looking at trends and relative rank ...

2024年2月21日 · The infant mortality rate (IMR) for infants classified as “short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified” decreased in the United States over time between 2010 and 2021 .

2019年11月27日 · Low birth weight (LBW) newborns present different health outcomes when classified in different birth weight strata. This study evaluated the relationship of birth weight with Infant mortality (IM) through the influence of biological, social, …

Low birth weight (LBW) can lead to serious vulnerability to illness, increased infant mortality rate (IMR), and impaired growth during childhood. The high IMR is also regarded as a major health problem.

Low birth weight (LBW), defined as birth weight below 2,500 g, is considered a major health problem for newborns (World Health Organization, 2014). It is the leading cause of 40%–60% of neonatal deaths worldwide (UNICEF and United Nations Childr en’s Fund (UNICEF), 2008).
