Article Synopsis
- Low birth weight (LBW) is a significant public health issue in Ethiopia, with over 13% prevalence, affecting infant mortality and linked to maternal health and nutrition.
- A study conducted on newborns in Addis Ababa identified key predictors of LBW, including maternal height under 155 cm, gestational hypertension, incomplete antenatal visits, and low maternal education.
- The findings emphasize the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to address these determinants and improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
