Low Birth Weight incidence is caused by several factors including maternal age 35 years and LILA <23.5 cm. The results of the preliminary study at the Tawangrejo Community Health Center in the City of Madiun, from 2016 there were 20 Low Birth Weight while in January-June 2017 there were 24 Low Birth Weight. The problem of this study is the increase in the incidence of Low Birth Weight. To analyze the relationship between age and maternal nutritional status based on the size of the upper arm circumference with the type of Low Birth Weight. This study is an analytical cross-sectional study with a population of all infants with birth weight less than 2500 gram in January-April 2011 taken by simple random sampling of 23 infants. Data sourced from secondary data in the form of medical records. The independent variables of maternal age and nutritional status based on the size of the upper arm circumference and the dependent variable type Low Birth Weight were then analyzed using the Fisher Exact test. This study showed that the majority (69.6%) of mothers giving birth in the age category were not safe, causing premature Low Birth Weight (38.5%) and Low Birth Weight at term (61.5%). And most (65.1%) mothers gave birth in the category of Lack of Chronic Energy, causing premature Low Birth Weight (38.5%) and Low Birth Weight dismatured (61.5%). From the Fisher Exact test results obtained value p = 0.011 for age and p = 0.024 for LILA size with a significance level of α = 0.05, because p <α then H1 is accepted. This study has a relationship between age and maternal nutritional status based on the size of the upper arm circumference with the type of Low Birth Weight. Pregnant and giving birth at an unsafe age and Lack of Chronic Energy tend to give birth to babies with Low Birth Weight. From the research conducted, it is expected that health workers will further improve health promotion by carrying out prevention through early detection of pregnancy by early ANC examination with the 7T standard.
