Abstract

The weight at birth is an important health indicator of infants. Underweight
infant’s birth is one of the major health problems and most fundamental causes of infant’s death. This
study was performed to determine the relation of mothers’ demographic factors with underweight
infant’s birth as meta-analysis in Iran.
Materials and Methods: This study is a meta-analysis of mothers’ demographic factors with
underweight infant’s birth in Iran, which was conducted on published articles in the country. In this aim
by searching the information at SID, Medlib, Irandoc, Google scholar, Pubmed, ISI, Iranmedex, Scopus
and Magiran, using key words and their compounds, all related articles were extracted independently by
two trained researchers. The results of studies analyzed using the STATA and Spss20 software.
Results: In the initial searching of 49 articles, 28 articles met inclusion criteria for study. Mother’s prepregnancy weight (OR: 2/28, CI%95: 1/42-5/61), and mother's job (OR: 1/15, CI%95: 0/72-1/84),
respectively, has got the most and the least relation with the underweight infant’s birth.
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, there is significant relationship between underweight
infant’s birth and mother’s pre-pregnancy weight, mother’s age under 19 years, mother’s education and
place of residence. Thus the control of mentioned risk factors in the mothers before the pregnancy can
