Data analysis in this study used multiple linear regression to test the method enter the 10% significance level. The test results simultaneously obtained results p value 0.000 <0.10 means that there is a relationship of LBW and poor nutrition status with infant mortality rates to the value of R2 0.415 at means 41.5% infant mortality rate caused by low birth weight and malnutrition, while 58.5% are caused by other factors . Formed regression model y = 0.275 + 0.299 LBW + 0.207 poor nutrition status.
