Low Birth Weight (LBW) is the proportion of live births weighing less than 2,500 grams and 20 times the chance of dying in infancy. LBW is the result of premature birth (<37 weeks' gestation) or impaired intrauterine growth. Neonatal mortality is one of the indicators determining the health and welfare of children. IMR in Banjarnegara Regency in 2015 was 13.23 per 1,000 live births which in absolute terms still ranked highest in Central Java Province. The formulation of the problem is risk factors of low birth weight  at Karang Kobar Health Center in Banjarnegara Regency in 2018. This research is a descriptive analytic study using case control study design. The research sample was taken from the total number of LBW in January to December 2017. Data were analyzed univariate and bivariate. The results of the study, the factors associated with the incidence of LBW are the factors of maternal age during pregnancy, gestational age, anemia, and nutrition pregnant women.

Objective: Macrocytic anemia (MA) is the most common type of anemia in adult HIV-infected patient on azidothymidine (AZT) regimen. The common causes of MA are vitamin B12 and folate deficiency, marked by homocysteinemia. AZT consumption causes homocysteinemia is still controversial. This study aimed to determine the role of AZT consumption and homocysteinemia in developing MA. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study involving adult HIV-infected patient who administered AZT in 12 health care facilities in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Sociodemographic data were obtained through interviews and medical records, while laboratory data included hemoglobin level and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were measured using the automatic hematology analyzer. Homocysteine level was measured using immunoassay. WHO references was used to diagnose anemia. Macrocytic was determined when MCV >96 fl. The cut-off homocysteinemia was >10 μmol/L. Length of AZT consumption was classified into ≤6 months and >6 months. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression test. Results: The population of this study was 503 adult HIVinfected on AZT regimen. In total, there were 116 subjects (age mean±SD: 41,9±9,4) who had MA and 116 controls (age mean±SD: 36,2±8,3) without anemia. Prevalence of anemia was 29.4% and the majority (78.4%) had MA. The odds of having MA among adult HIV infected patient on AZT regimen > 6 months was 0.25 times compared to patients who were on AZT regimen ≤6 months (95% CI 0.08-0.72, p=0.011), homocysteinemia was protective factor of MA (OR 0.43,95% CI 0.24-0.79, p=0.006). Conclusion: The length of AZT consumption >6 months and homocysteinemia are protective factors of MA among adult HIV-infected patient. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.19(4) 2020 p.638-645
