At RSUD Wonosari in 2008, there was 30,36% woman with HP born LBW infant and the rate was getting an increase in 2009, there was 46%. Objectives: To observe the correlation between HP and LBW incidences at RSUD Wonosari in 2010-2011. Methods: The observational analytical research with case-control design, consist of HP as independent va.riable and LBW as a dependent. The samples are determined by using purposive sampling method from medical records at RSUD Wonosari in 2010-2011. The analysis method of this research is chi-square statistical test, and contingency coefficient Result: LBW incidences that were born by a woman with HP at RSUD Wonosari in 2010-2011 are about 7596, chi-square analysis with df=1 and significance level 5% produce X2 count = 39,629; p-value = 0,000, and C=0,462.]]>
