Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between iron sufficiency, folic acid, knowledge, and socioeconomic status and the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in East Landasan Ulin. This study was an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted in East Landasan Ulin from September 2022 to January 2023. A total of 19 pregnant women were selected as research samples using the total sampling method. Hb levels in pregnant women were obtained from the MCH book. Iron and folic acid intake data were collected through interviews using semi-quantitative FFQ. Knowledge and socioeconomic data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test. All subjects (100%) had sufficient iron intake, sufficient folic acid intake (84%), sufficient knowledge (63%), sufficient education (74%), and sufficient family income (74%). The results of this study indicated that iron intake (p=0.223), folic acid intake (p=0.599), knowledge (p=0.612), education (p=0.209), and family income (p=0.630) were not associated with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in East Landasan Ulin.
