The relationship between the birthweight of newborn infants and their mothers' health characteristics as well as socio-economic status were studied in 1474 consecutive deliveries from eight areas in the delta region of north Vietnam. The results showed that the proportion of low birthweight (LBW) infants varied from 7.9% to 12.5%. Body mass index (BMI) of the mothers, good nutrition during pregnancy and maternity leave before delivery were negatively associated with the occurrence of LBW. The association between chronic energy deficiency (low BMI) and LBW was seen only among the farming women. Measures should be taken to reduce the workload and to supply sufficient food for pregnant women, and special priority should be given to rural areas.
在越南北部三角洲地区八个区域的1474例连续分娩中，研究了新生儿出生体重与其母亲健康特征以及社会经济地位之间的关系。结果显示，低出生体重（LBW）婴儿的比例在7.9%至12.5%之间。母亲的体重指数（BMI）、孕期良好营养状况以及分娩前的产假与低出生体重的发生呈负相关。慢性能量缺乏（低BMI）与低出生体重之间的关联仅在务农女性中可见。应采取措施减轻孕妇工作量并为其提供充足食物，农村地区应给予特别优先考虑。
