Article Synopsis
- Low birth weight (LBW) is a growing issue in the US, often linked to various factors, but previous studies usually examined these in isolation and overlooked paternal influences.
- This study uses machine learning on the 2022 National Natality Dataset to analyze a wide range of factors affecting LBW, combining both maternal and paternal characteristics.
- Key findings highlight that maternal height, pre-pregnancy weight, weight gain during pregnancy, and parental ethnicity significantly affect birth weight, indicating disparities among different ethnic groups in the US.
