Fremont: Low birth weight babies
A low birth weight is under 2,500 grams, or roughly 5 lbs 8 oz. The percent of low birth weight babies is calculated by dividing the number of low birth weight babies by the number of live births. We multiply the result by 100. In counties with relatively few people, a small number of low birth weight babies may have a significant effect on percents from year to year. In Fremont . . . - 6.9 percent of babies had low birth weights in 2018, compared to 7.3 percent in Idaho
- 13 babies had low birth weights in 2018, compared to 15 in 1997
