Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between nutritional status, measured via Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), and anemia incidence among pregnant women at Bogor Timur Health Center in 2025. This research contributes a basis for early detection and integrated interventions for healthcare providers to reduce maternal anemia. The study employed a quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional design, involving 190 randomly selected samples. Data collection occurred from December 22, 2025, to February 14, 2026, using Chi-Square analysis. Results showed a significant relationship between MUAC (p=0.019) and gestational age (p=0.000) with anemia. Consequently, pregnant women with "at-risk" MUAC exhibit higher anemia proportions (38.7%), necessitating stricter nutritional monitoring.
