This metric shows infants weighing less than 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces) at birth. This statistic is expressed as a percentage of all live births to Tulsa County mothers, reported by single calendar years.

Infants born with low birth weight are at higher risk for health complications such as developmental delays and respiratory problems. Factors like smoking, alcohol use, poor nutrition, stress, domestic violence, and environmental exposures can increase the risk. Early and regular prenatal care plays a critical role in helping prevent low birth weight and improving health outcomes.

Preterm birth is a significant public health concern as it is a leading cause of infant mortality and contributes to long-term health challenges, including an increased risk of illness and disability throughout life. Factors such as maternal age, race, socioeconomic status, infections, previous preterm births, multiple pregnancies, and lifestyle choices like tobacco or alcohol use can increase the likelihood of a preterm delivery. Monitoring the prevalence of preterm births helps identify at-risk populations and can inform targeted interventions to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
