From the data of 58,062 live birth records from 2012 to 2015, a descriptive analysis of the biological, social, demographic and health care variables related to the mother, the father and the newborn was performed, hypothesis tests of independence, calculation of OR and the elaboration of logistic regression models to explain which are associated with the respective tests. As a result, it is observed that the low birth weight varied between 2.01 and 2.5% in the analyzed period, lower than the national data and overweight was between 6.1 and 6.9%, which is lower than some International reports The tendency was to remain constant in the analyzed period, being presented in the 29 municipalities of the department but with more unfavorable results only in 34.5% of them. For the low weight, of the 9 variables analyzed, 5 presented association and are: female sex of the newborn (OR = 1.28), multiple pregnancy (OR = 26.29), age of the mother (OR = 1.42) , mother with no ability to pay (OR = 1.19) and father at risk age (OR = 1.45) showed association. For overweight, of the 8 variables analyzed, 3 presented association and are: the male sex of the newborn (OR = 1.90), mother over 30 years (OR = 1.42), five or more children (OR = 1 , 46) Female.
