Abstract

A research was carried out to determine dominant factors that affect the low birth weight babies in East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) province Indonesia. The district Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) was selected as the target region for the research as this area has the highest number for the case. Samples were taken purposively targeting the mothers whose babies have low birth weights. The data were collected using questioners with 12 questions that have Likert Scale attributes ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Factor Analysis method was employed to examine the variables involved in the research. The result shows that from the 12 variables that were grouped in 4 factors; internal diseases, environment, birth defects and respiratory infection, the greatest threat to the low birth weight babies in ENT is internal diseases with the percentage of variance is almost 40%.
