BACKGROUND
This study aimed to examine the associations between aboriginality, age, demographic and socioeconomic factors of the mother and the risk of low birth weight (LBW) in mountain townships of Taiwan.
METHODS
We analyzed the LBW proportion of single live babies born to 2032 first-time mothers between 2004 and 2005. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, analysis of variance, the Scheffe test and logistic regression.
RESULTS
About 14.8% of Aboriginal mothers and 18.7% of Aboriginal teen mothers gave birth to infants of LBW. Aboriginal mothers were found to be at higher risk of delivering LBW infants; however, after controlling for marital status and education, the influence of aboriginality and age was no longer significant.
CONCLUSIONS
Marital status and education are more important determinants of LBW than aboriginality and age in mountain townships of Taiwan.
背景
本研究旨在探讨台湾山区乡镇原住民身份、母亲年龄、人口统计学及社会经济因素与低出生体重（LBW）风险之间的关联。
方法
我们分析了2004年至2005年间2032名初产妇所生单胎活产婴儿的低出生体重比例。数据采用卡方检验、方差分析、谢费检验和逻辑回归进行分析。
结果
约14.8%的原住民母亲和18.7%的原住民青少年母亲生下了低出生体重婴儿。发现原住民母亲分娩低出生体重婴儿的风险较高；然而，在控制婚姻状况和教育程度后，原住民身份和年龄的影响不再显著。
结论
在台湾山区乡镇，婚姻状况和教育程度是比原住民身份和年龄更重要的低出生体重决定因素。
