A total of 4565 weighted newborns were included in the study. Provincial variation in the prevalence of LBW was visualized using ArcGIS.

After adjusting for confounders, significant factors associated with higher odds of LBW included maternal unemployment (AOR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.03\u20132.56), being a first\u2010born child (AOR = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.26\u20132.38), and rural area (AOR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.00\u20132.01). Attending four or more antenatal care (ANC) visits was protective against LBW (AOR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.47\u20130.91). Maternal age and household wealth were not independently associated with LBW in the adjusted model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of LBW among newborns in Cambodia is lower than in Southeast Asia and worldwide. However, significant provincial variations in LBW prevalence exist, particularly in remote areas. Maternal employment, firstborn status, rural residence, and ANC utilization are key determinants of LBW. Public health programs should prioritize provinces with persistently high rates of LBW prevalence and improve ANC coverage, especially for first\u2010time mothers in rural areas, to further reduce LBW and improve neonatal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jp\/5551643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]],"date-time":"2026-04-08T05:06:25Z","timestamp":1775624785000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors Associated With Low Birth Weight in Cambodia: A Secondary Analysis of the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey, 2021\u20132022"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1521-1260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samnang","family":"Um","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sothy","family":"Heng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sok","family":"Sakha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leng","family":"Dany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chantrea","family":"Sieng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5933-9328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sovandara","family":"Heng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","volume-title":"Global Nutrition Targets 2025: Low Birth Weight Policy Brief","author":"World Health Organization (WHO)","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","volume-title":"Low Birth Weight Last Update","author":"United Nations International Children\u2032s Emergency Fund (UNICEF)","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978-020-01026-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","volume-title":"UNICEF-WHO.
