Records of 151 Tangsa singleton live births over a period of 4 years at the Nampong Primary Health Centre of Nampong Circle of the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh were analysed to examine the effect of sex of baby, mother's age and parity on the incidence of low birth weight. The occurrence of low birth weight was 28.48% and only 4.64% of newborns weighed 2000 g or less. The mean birth weight was found to be 2806.95 +/- 39.32 g. Female babies had a significantly higher incidence of low birth weight than male babies. Parity was found to be significant influence on the incidence of low birth weight. An increase of low birth weight babies was noticed after 4th parity and the best outcome was also observed at this parity. The higher incidence of low birth weight was found in the 5+ parity. Young mothers (< 20 years) had also higher incidence of low birth weight and mother's age had no significant effect on the incidence of low birth weight.
对阿鲁纳恰尔邦昌朗地区南蓬分区南蓬初级卫生中心4年间151例丹萨单胎活产记录进行分析，以研究婴儿性别、母亲年龄和胎次对低出生体重发生率的影响。低出生体重的发生率为28.48%，仅有4.64%的新生儿体重在2000克及以下。平均出生体重为2806.95±39.32克。女婴低出生体重的发生率显著高于男婴。发现胎次对低出生体重发生率有显著影响。第4胎次后低出生体重婴儿数量增加，且该胎次的出生结局最佳。5胎及以上胎次的低出生体重发生率更高。年轻母亲（<20岁）的低出生体重发生率也较高，母亲年龄对低出生体重发生率无显著影响。
