From the 162 samples, found that almost half of respondents were 46.9% experienced low birth weight infants and almost all of the respondents were 88.3% experienced asphyxia neonatorum. Based on chi square test obtained (p)=0.001<(α)=0,05 and C=0,257, it means there is significant correlation between low birth weight infants and asphyxia with low correlation neonatorum. Odds ratio is 9,116, it means that risk of asphyxia neonatorum at low birth weight infants is 9.116 times great than normal birth weight infant.
