Spatial and ecological analysis of low birth weight in Rasht rural areas
Objective(s): Spatial analysis of LBW using a geographic information system and determining the relationship between LBW and factors related to health and economic status, using a poison regression model. Methods: In each village, data were obtained on Total Births and cases of Low Birth Weight. Dat...
