摘要

OBJECTIVE: Establishment of a primary healthcare network in Iran has provided free and universal access to primary health care. Although the health status of Iranians has improved since this network was established, the low-birthweight rate has not decreased. The objective of the present study was to describe socio-economic and medical factors related to low birth weight in the context of free and universal access to primary health care. DESIGN: Descriptive, hospital-based prospective study. METHODS: Data about socio-economic, reproductive and prenatal condition of 4510 live singleton births from June to October 2004 were gathered using a standard questionnaire by interview and record review. The effect of these conditions on birth weight was investigated using a logistic regression model. RESULTS: Of 4510 newborns, 305 (6.8%) were low birth weight. Among these low-birthweight newborns, there were 159 preterm and 146 term newborns. Mothers with a primary and secondary education [odds ratio (OR) 6.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.35-7.34 and OR 4.81, 95%CI 1.95-6.37, respectively], who lived with farmer and unskilled worker husbands (OR 2.52, 95%CI 1.12-4.66 and OR 2.91, 95%CI 1.35-2.52, respectively), with a birth interval of 1 year or less (OR 3.54, 95%CI 1.80-5.95) and height less than 155cm (OR 1.82, 95%CI 1.12-3.31) were more likely to have low-birthweight infants. CONCLUSION: In the context of free and universal access to health care, it is recommended that policy makers should place more emphasis on education as it imparts knowledge and thus influences dietary habits and birth-spacing behaviour. This will lead to a better nutritional status, particularly in dealing with pregnancy, resulting in lower rates of low birth weight.
