ABSTRACT
A study on a few selected socio-biological and demographic
determinants of birth weight was conducted at a hospital in Sagar
town, Madhya Pradesh. Records of 2,680 single live births over a
period of one year (1st January to 31st December 2000) were
analysed. It was found that male infants were 124 g heavier than
female infants. Tabular representation of data showed that maternal
age, education, ethnicity, father's income and occupation, infant's
sex and parity were strongly associated with birth weight of
infants. Regression analysis gave a comprehensive picture of such
associations and confirmed the above findings. The study showed that
the socio-economic and biological variables considered in the
analysis have significant effect on birth weight.
