SUMMARY
The purpose of this research is to know the description of the age and parity
on mothers who have Low Birth Weight. Infant mortality in Indonesia is still very high,
according to the SDKI 32/1000 birth with AS LOW as one cause. The incidence of
Low Birth Weight can be caused due to the age of the mother and parity are risky.
The population of the research was the whole LBW babies in Kediri Regency
HOSPITALS as much as 500 infants, and the number of samples taken as many as
83 samples using a purposive sampling. This research uses descriptive design, with
the variables of age and parity of mothers who have Low Birth Weight.
Results of the study showed the incidence of Low Birth Weight on maternal
age risk (< 20 and > 35 years) there are 38.55% whereas in multipara parity there
are 60.24% and grandemultipara 6.03%.
Based on the results of the analysis Age at risk (< 20 years, > 35 years) and
more parity than 3 also led to Low Birth Weight Risk. This is caused due to biological
changes associated with degenerative diseases. And in the process suffered a
setback in her body then this will affect the State of the uterus, the circulation of the
blood are already experiencing erosion thus affecting the food circulation to the
fetus. This situation can cause interference with the growth of the fetus so that will
give birth to Low Birth Weight. Similarly, on a parity of too high will result in the
disruption of the uterus especially in terms of the function of the blood vessels,
repetitive pregnancy will result in damage to the blood vessel walls of the uterus, this
will affect the nutrients to the fetus which led to Low Birth Weight.
