Method: The study used case control approach. The data were collected using secondary data namely medical record. The study was conducted in April - June 2017. The sampling technique was purposive sampling while the control sampling technique using systematic random sampling. The ratio was 1: 1 in which the case samples were 132 and the control samples were 132. The analysis technique used Chi Square. Result: Chi Square analysis shows that age does not have significant correlation with the incidence of LBW (p value = 0,502) (α = 0,05). Meanwhile, the pregnancy interval has significant correlation with the incidence of LBW (p value = 0.036) (α = 0.05).
