Abstract :

Background: Anemia in pregnancy can cause disruption of pregnancy continuity, disruption of the birth process, disorders during the puerperium, and disturbances to the fetus. World data shows the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women is 41.8% with a maternal mortality rate due to anemia of 303,000 people or around 216/100,000 live births. This study aims to analyze the determinants of anemia in pregnant women in North Buton Regency.

Method: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all pregnant women aged <21 years who came to check their pregnancies at all Health Centers in North Buton Regency in January 2023 as many as 97 people with a total sample of 77 people who were taken using the proportional sampling technique.

Results: The research data was analyzed using using the chi-square test. The results showed body mass index (p-value = 0.002), food consumption level (p-value = 0.023), food security (p-value = 0.002), adherence to consumption of Fe tablets (p-value = 0.002), knowledge (p-value = 0.827), income (p-value = 0.015).

Conclusion: It can be concluded that body mass index, level of food consumption, food security, consumption of Fe tablets, and income are related to the incidence of anemia in pregnant women, while knowledge is not related to the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.
