Abstract:Objective This study aims to describe the spatial pattern of low birth weight incidence rate at the township/street level in Hubei Province in 2016 and to analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide scientific evidence for conducting relevant disease intervention, allocating healthcare resources and making policies in different regions in Hubei Province. Methods Based on the variables of regional characteristics on fertility, socioeconomic status and physical environment, the Mixed Level Regionalization(MLR) is used to map the incidence rate of low birth weight, and the Ordinary Least Squares(OLS) combined with Geographical Weighting Regression(GWR) and Geo-detector are used to analyze the influencing factors of low birth weight. Results After regionalization, 985 new areas are obtained, and Moran′s I of low birth weight rate in the new areas is 0.31, which confirms spatial autocorrelation existing for the low birth weight incidence rate among the spatial units. The proportion of small gestational age, advanced maternal age and non-single birth, altitude and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) are significant variables identified by the OLS and GWR models, as well as the Geo-detector. The proportion of small gestational age, non-single birth and altitude are positively correlated with the incidence rate of low birth weight in most areas. NDVI is negatively correlated with low birth weight in the central and eastern Hubei, and positively correlated with low birth weight in northern and most of western Hubei. The proportion of advanced maternal age is positively correlated with the incidence rate of low birth weight identified by the Geo-detector, which is contrary to the results of OLS and GWR models. In addition, the proportion of second birth is a significant variable in OLS and GWR models, which is negatively correlated with the incidence rate of low birth weight. The per capita disposable income ratio of urban and rural residents is a significant variable identified by the Geo-detector, and showed an ‘U′-shaped relationship with the incidence rate of low birth weight. Conclusion The results show that the hot spots of low birth weight in Hubei Province are distributed in strips in the western plain-mountainous transition zone and in clusters in Wuhan and its surrounding areas. As far as influencing factors are concerned, gestational age, number of births, parity, altitude and NDVI have significant influence on the low birth weight of newborns. Different variables have different effects on the incidence rate of low birth weight in different regions. Fertility characteristic variables have a greater impact on low birth weight than natural environment variables, while socio-economic variables have less effect. Several variables show different impacts on the incidence rate of low birth weight in the two methods, which needs further study and discussion.
