In regard of the constant rate of low birthweight infants in Federal Republic of Germany kinds and relevance of social factors within Low Birthweight are examined. Results of a study based on all births in Berlin (West) during the years 1982-1985 (n = 72201) are presented. It shows a constant rate of low birthweight infants also in Berlin (mean: 6.3%, excluding multiple births). Several social factors (legitimacy, nationality...) with varying intensity played a major role, especially if certain risk situations were cumulating. Since Prenatal Care has particular difficulties in reaching women at higher risks early and consequently, specific approaches of intervention derived from experiences in the US are suggested.
针对德意志联邦共和国低体重儿的恒定发生率以及低体重儿中社会因素的种类和相关性进行了研究。本文呈现了一项基于1982年至1985年柏林（西柏林）所有出生记录（n = 72201）的研究结果。结果表明，柏林的低体重儿发生率也保持恒定（平均：6.3%，不包括多胞胎）。几个社会因素（合法性、国籍……）以不同强度发挥了主要作用，尤其是在某些风险情况累积时。由于产前护理在早期接触高危女性方面存在特殊困难，因此建议借鉴美国的经验采取特定的干预方法。
