Background: The management of household waste by burning can affect the incidence of low birth weight (LBW). This paper aims to identify the burning of garbage at home and risk of low birth weight. Methods: This analysis used a part of Riskesdas 2013 data in the Central Sulawesi Province. Subjects analyzed were infants aged 0-11 months. Baby’s weight was based on the baby’s birth weightwhich was recorded in the questionnaire of Riskesdas. The infants were categorized as LBW, if the recorded birth weight was less than 2500 grams. Results: Out of 392 babies, 281 babies had recorded birth weightswhich could be proved by documentary evidence. The majority of babies were boys (50.9%) and lived in rural areas (58.7%). The proportion of babies who had LBW was 10.6% (23 infants). The babies who were living in households with exposure to burned garbage had 2.3-fold increased risk to be LBW [adjusted relative risk for gender and availability of window (RRa) = 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18 - 8.61]. Conclusion: The babies who live in households exposed to burned garbage condition had an increased risk to be LBW in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.
