| Introduction: The rate of neonates’ mortality is one most important indicator of the health of any society influenced by several factors. Therefore, the present study was designed and implemented to investigate the factors related to the birth of neonates with weight less than 2500 g in the village of Chamazkati during 2008-2014. Methods: In the present descriptive, cross-sectional study, 32 neonates weight less than 2500 g were examined by census method in the village Chamazkati of Qaemshahr from 2008 to 2014. Data were collected through a researcher construed questionnaire and studying documents. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed through studying the content by 10 experts and the calculation of the internal similarity. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 and t-test and analysis of variance. Findings: The findings indicated that the consumption of dairy products, bread and cereals, fruit and vegetables, meat and legumes, and multivitamin are associated significantly with neonate’s weight (P < 0.05). Also, they showed that the mother's physical features, the amount of income and education are significantly associated with the neonate’s weight (P < 0.05). Finally, this relationship exists between the fetus multiparity, conditions of pregnancy and birth and diseases of pregnancy period on the one hand and the neonate’s weight on the other (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that low weight of neonates is dependent on numerous causes and the reduction of the rate of low weight birth of them requires to accurate and comprehensive examination and makes necessary a comprehensive planning in the field of prevention of mother’s nutritional disorders, taking supplements, mother’s consciousness, her physical features, fetus suitable condition during pregnancy cares, good conditions of pregnancy and birth and diseases in pregnancy. |
