This case-control study was undertaken to determine sociodemographic risk factors for low birth weight in Al-Ain (United Arab Emirates) over a 12-month period in 1992-93. A total of 3485 live births occurred of which 293 (8.4%) were low birth weight. The risk factors considered were mother's occupation, house conditions, place of residence (urban or rural), maternal smoking habits, antenatal care, availability of help in the home, maternal BMI and educational status. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that mother's occupation, maternal smoking, antenatal care, and lack of help in the home were associated with increased risk of low birth weight.
这项病例对照研究旨在确定1992 - 1993年为期12个月期间阿联酋艾因地区低出生体重的社会人口学风险因素。该地区共发生3485例活产，其中293例（8.4%）为低出生体重儿。研究考虑的风险因素包括母亲职业、住房条件、居住地点（城市或农村）、母亲吸烟习惯、产前护理、家中是否有人帮忙、母亲的体重指数和教育程度。多因素逻辑回归分析表明，母亲职业、母亲吸烟、产前护理以及家中无人帮忙与低出生体重风险增加有关。
