Low birth weight and associated factors in rural population of Rajasthan, India
Many factors, like complications during pregnancy, awareness of pregnancy planning, and nutritional intake, are associated with the likelihood of LBW occurrences. Many maternal risk factors for LBW are modifiable through early detection by imparting education and awareness to pregnant women in their first trimester. The findings emphasize the significance of targeted interventions and awareness programs to address specific risk factors and improve birth outcomes in rural Indian communities.
