The Relation Between Macronutrient Intake and Nutritional Knowledge on Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among Pregnant Women in Tapung District

Abstrak

Chronic energy deficiency (CED) is a condition in which the mother suffers from a lack of energy intake characterized by a LiLA <23,5 cm. CED in pregnant women is one of the nutritional problems that can be caused by food intake (energi and macronutrients) and nutritional knowledge. The aimed of the study was to analyze the correlation between energy iand macronutriens intake, as well as nutritional knowledge on chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women in Tapung District. The study was an observational analysis with a cross sectional study design. The population of the study was pregnant womens. The sampling technique was accidental sampling and a sample size of 70 people was obtained. The results showed that most pregnant women in the Tapung Distric were in the moderate category 47,1%, good 27,1%, and deficit 27,1%. The carbohydrate intake was in the modarate category 54,3%, deficit 28,6%, and good 17,1%. The protein intake was in the moderate category 52,9%, deficit 31,4%, and good 15,7%. The fat intake was in the moderate category of 51,4%, good 34,3%, and deficit 14,3%. The nutritional knowledge of pregnant women was in the good category 91,4% and sufficient 8,6%. The most pregnant women do not experience CED was 77,1% and are at risk of CED was 22,9%. The result of the chi-square test showed that energy intake (p=0,000), carbohydrate intake (p=0,010), protein intake (p=0,001), fat intake (p=0,007), and nutritional knowledge (p=0,128). The conclusion of the study that there was a correlation between macronutrients intake to chronic energy deficiency (CED), but there was no correlation between nutritional knowledge and chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women in Tapung District
