Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is caused by unbalanced food intake during pregnancy, especially for the lack of energy and protein intake. Chronic Energy Deficiency in pregnant women is still a problem in Indonesia. This might due to lack of energy and protein intake, and socio economic. Malnutrition on pregnant women can affect fetal growth and maternal health. Aim: This study aimed to explore the association between economic status and nutrient intake (energy and protein) in Loa Ipuh pregnant women, Tenggarong District, East Kalimantan. Methods: This study was a case and control study on June-July 2021. The case group was all pregnant women who are in CED and the control group was healthy pregnant women with a ratio of 1:1, which was 28 pregnant women. This research used matching age, gender and residence area of the respondent. Food reported in the 24-h recalls was collected using household measurements or pictures of portion sizes for each selected item. Data Collected by questionnaire and statistical tests used Chi-Square Test. Results: The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between economic status, nutrient intake (energy and protein), and the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women. Conclusion: Economic status and intake of energy and protein influence the incidence of CED in pregnant women. The requirement for government, community and family support during the pregnancy are needed for better health of mother and children. Larger studies need to be performed before the supporting program can be routinely recommended in pregnant women.
