Abstract

The nutritional status of pregnant women is crucial for the health of both mothers and fetuses. Nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy can lead to chronic energy deficiency (CED) and suboptimal pregnancy outcomes. In Indonesia, one intervention developed to address this issue is providing supplementary foods made from local ingredients for pregnant women at risk of malnutrition. This study aimed to analyze the effect of local PMT (supplementary foods) on the nutritional status and body weight of pregnant women. Using a one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 20 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Nutritional status was measured using the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) indicator before and after the intervention. Data analysis, including the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, revealed the data were not normally distributed, so the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used. The results showed an increase in the mean MUAC from 21.43 cm before the intervention to 22.11 cm afterward, but this change was not statistically significant (p = 0.099). The findings suggest that local PMT may improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, but the effect is not yet statistically significant. It is recommended that local PMT be combined with nutritional counseling and routine monitoring for more impactful results
