The research uses analytical observational methods with a case-control design and total sampling, with 84 participants per group, and applied bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. Results showed that irregular ANC 41,67% (p=0,000 and OR=3,369), a history of CED 22,62% (p=0,002 and OR=3,700), and 13,67% had a risky BMI (p=0,178).
