Abstract
This study examined the birth pattern in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) using the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital (UATH) as a case study. Twenty seven per cent of the new-borns were found to have a low birth weight. Low birth .weight babies were born more to the mothers with age below 20 years (30.8%)\as compared, to.women more than 20.years of age (25.3%). Neonates with a gestation penod of less than 37 weeks were more prone to low birth weight The subjects who were not availing of ANC services had more number of low birth weight babies as compared to those who received ANC services (29.3% and.25.5% respectively). Female babies were more prone to low birth weight as compared to the male babies. The adjusted odds ratios were 1.36 for maternal age less than 20 years, 1.58. for period of gestation, (POG) less than 37 weeks, 1.23 for non-utilizers of ANC and 1:32 for female babies. The authors suggest that marriage beyond 18 years of age for the girls and increase the coverage of ANC to cent per cent for pregnant women may be promoted.
