Introduction:Pregnancy with anemic condition of mother is global public health problem. Various factors can affect health capacity of placenta during period of gestation, some factors we can control &some we can’t. The objective ofstudy is compare &correlates placental weight & birth outcome among anemic and non-anemic mother. Material and methods: ACorrelation & comparative design used for study, total 80 samples, calculated by power analysis & selected by simple randomization technique. Sample divided in two group, Group A-40 anemic mother & Group B-40non-anemic. Data collected byself-structured measurement tool. The collected data tabulated, analyzed by descriptive & inferential statistics. Result: The result revealed that,for comparison unpaired t test conducted which found that mean SD of Placental weight among anemic &non-anemic mother respectively, 513.125±50.89 & 449.725±45.92 gives t value 6.065. Diameter of placenta, anemic&non-anemic mean SD 16.27±1.71 & 16.18±1.677 respectively t value 0.228. Length of cord of child in anemic mother mean & SD were 51.175±0.87 andnon-anemic mother 51.1±0.99 and t value 0.347. Weight of child both group mean SD of anemic &non-anemic respectively, 2549.22±171.34 &2640.500±178.69, t value highly significant 2.38, Head circumference in anemic &non-anemic respectively, mean SD 34.51±0.67 & 34.63±0.68, t value 1.955. Conclusion: This study concluded that, positive correlation between placental weight & weight of baby among anemic &non-anemicgroup of mother but negative correlation between placental weight & head circumference of baby among both group.
