ABSTRACT
Introduction: Low birth weight represents a world order problem in health due to serious limitations in survival and life quality.Objective: To determine some risk factors influencing in low birth weight infants.
Methods: A descriptive and prospective investigation with an analytical phase, at Luis E. de la Paz polyclinic in Yara, Granma, in the period 2008 - 2010. The universe was formed by 75 low birth weights. The information was obtained through the clinical files of the mothers and their children, and the statistical analysis were made using chi square test to determine the dependence degree between the risk factor and low birth weight and then its correlation through the coefficient correlation of Pearson.
Results: It was remarkable the prevalence of the low birth weights, the antecedent of underweight mothers in the beginning of the pregnancy and the ones with scarce gain of weight. Most of the pregnant were primipara with vaginal infections. The non-smokers mothers and with antecedents of BPN did not contribute to the excellent results. The pregnant under 19 years and with secondary and preuniversity school level were those that contributed a greater number of cases.
Conclusions: Risk factors were related to primipara pregnant women, low weight at the beginning of the pregnancy or an inadequate weight gain and the vaginal infection. There was prevalence of low birth weight in those non-smokers, having antecedents of low birth weight, less than 19 years old and from secondary and preuniversity school.
