Abstract
Using a combination of MUAC, HL, FL and CHL followed by individual MUAC neonatal anthropometric parameters has high significance to identify low birth weight. Prediction of neonatal birth weight from neonatal anthropometric parameters is crucial to minimize the death of neonates due to low birth weight.
