Abstract
Birthweight indicators show that malaria control in pregnancy is poor in this population, deteriorates with distance of place of birth from the main hospital location, and is worst in adolescent primigravidae. Greater attention should be given to the use of birthweight indicators in rural areas of Tanzania for monitoring malaria control in pregnancy.
