Affecting factors the incidence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition due to lack of energy and protein intake or the occurrence of imbalance of energy and protein intake in completing the needs of the body that lasts for a long period of time. The prevalence rate in Lampung of CED risk in pregnant women was 21.3%, still below the National figure. The result of the pre-survey at the Ketapang Public Health Center based on data obtained by researcher from 53 pregnant women with CED was dominated by pregnant women with the age of < 20 years and the first pregnancy was 32 pregnant women (60.37%). The research objective was to know the factors that influence the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in Pregnant Women at the Ketapang Public Health Center in 2022. This research type is quantitative with a case-control design. The population in this study was 53 mothers with CED and 53 mothers who did not experience CED. The sample in this study was the entire population, namely, 53 mothers who experienced CED and 53 mothers who did not experience CED. The analysis used the chi-square test. Results from the study revealed that there is an age correlation (p-value: 0.012 OR: 3.29) and the incidence of anemia (p-value: 0.046 OR: 2.4) with chronic energy deficiency (SEZ) in pregnant women at the Ketapang Public Health Center in South Lampung Regency in 2022. And there is no parity correlation with chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women at the Ketapang Public Health Center of South Lampung Regency in 2022 (p-value: 0.09). It is expected for the Ketapang Public Health Center to increase socialization on how to prevent the occurrence of CED in pregnant women
