ABSTRACT
Three hundred forty one primiparous women and their offsprings were the subjects of the study. Mothers were subjected to weight and height measurement as well as hemoglobin estimation. The weight for height ratio index (WHRI) and weight-height product index (WHPI) were calculated. Both WHRI and WHPI were studied in relation to birth weight (BW). WHPI was found to be superior over WHRI as it explained greater per cent variation in birth weight. The means for BW increased and incidence of low birth weight babies decreased significantly with increase of WHPI in each WHRI group.
