The cross-sectional hospital based study was undertaken to provide an efficient and useful cut off point of maternal early third trimester weight, for low birth weight (LBW), based on receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve among Bengalee mothers of Kolkata, India. A total of 233 mother-baby pairs were included in the present analysis. The means for maternal age and weight were 23.44 (SD = 3.88) years and 49.45 (7.19) kg, respectively. Means for gestational age and birth weight were 38.97 (1.12) week and 2664 (324) gm, respectively. The ROC curve analysis showed maternal weight < 48.0 kg as the best cutoff point of LBW. Data showed maternal weight < or = 48.0 kg had significantly higher OR (OR = 2.92, 95% CI: 1.56-5.51) for delivering LBW baby. In conclusion, the cut-off point of maternal early third trimester weight < or = 48.0 kg could be used for nutritional intervention programs in order to combat LBW among this population.
这项基于医院的横断面研究旨在根据印度加尔各答孟加拉族母亲的受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线，为低出生体重（LBW）提供一个有效且实用的孕晚期早期母亲体重截断点。本分析共纳入233对母婴。母亲年龄和体重的均值分别为23.44（标准差=3.88）岁和49.45（7.19）千克。孕周和出生体重的均值分别为38.97（1.12）周和2664（324）克。ROC曲线分析显示，母亲体重<48.0千克是低出生体重的最佳截断点。数据显示，母亲体重≤48.0千克的产妇分娩低出生体重儿的OR值显著更高（OR=2.92，95%置信区间：1.56 - 5.51）。总之，孕晚期早期母亲体重≤48.0千克的截断点可用于营养干预项目，以应对该人群中的低出生体重问题。
