 This study aimed to estimate the average term birth weight of newborns in Jigme Dorje Vanchuk National Referral Hospital in Thimphu and investigate its correlation with maternal factors and sex of the newborn. The results showed that the overall average term birth weight for newborns was 3177 plus or minus 435g with boys being heavier than girls. Additionally, the study found that birth weight improved with improvements in economic situation and female literacy level. The term birth weight was positively correlated with parity, number of antenatal visits, family income, maternal education level and age. Furthermore, the mean birth weight of North Bhutanese newborns 3,260 plus or minus 436g was heavier by 200g than that of South Bhutanese newborns 3,060 plus or minus 411g.
