Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a condition of long term energy reserve depletion characterized by an upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 23.5 cm. This condition increases the risk of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between CED and the incidence of preeclampsia and preterm birth in the working area of the Balisoan Community Health Center. Methods: This analytical quantitative study used a cross sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 respondents selected using a total sampling technique from secondary data of medical records and maternal cohort registers. Data analysis used the bivariate Chi Square test. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents (61.7%) were of healthy reproductive age, but most (70%) were unemployed. The test of the relationship between CED and preeclampsia showed a p value = 0.000, where all cases of preeclampsia occurred in the CED group. The test of the relationship between CED and preterm birth showed a p value = 0.005 with an OR value = 6.481. Conclusion: There is a highly significant relationship between CED and the incidence of preeclampsia and a significant relationship between CED and the incidence of preterm birth. Mothers with CED have a 6.4 times greater risk of delivering preterm babies compared to mothers without CED.
