ABSTRACT

Birth Weight is an important determinant of child survival and development. It is also a subject of clinical and epidemiological investigation. This study was aimed to fit a regression model that is appropriate for predicting the weight of a new born baby, also to determine the relationship between the birth weight, the mother pre-pregnancy weight and number of children ever born by the mother so that suitable recommendation can be made to prevent LBW and HBW in various hospitals. The data used for this study is a secondary data collected from Federal Medical Centre Umuahia among 60 delivery live born neonate in study place. All babies were weighed within 24 hours after the birth. The data was analyze using Regression Analysis with the help of MINITAB 16 result obtained from the model WB=0.812+O.0282W.M+0.174N.0 suggested that there exist a positive linear relationship between the weight of the baby, the weight of mother and the number of children ever born by the mother which in turn we help parents to keep a healthy pregnancy and avoid diseases attached to it.
