The type of research used is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 90 toddlers. The sampling method used is simple random sampling. The data obtained were analyzed chi-square test with a significance level of α=0,05. The results showed that the results of the chi-square test for the amount of expenditure (p=0.006), number of family members (p=0,019), and knowledge of maternal nutrition (p=0,000) which means there is a relationship between the amount of expenditure, number of family members and knowledge of nutrition, mothers with the nutritional intake of toddlers. While the results of the chi-square test for nutritional intake of children under five (p=0,000) and infectious diseases (p=0,010) means that there is a significant relationship between nutritional intake of children under five and infectious diseases with nutritional status of children under five.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition where a mother experiences a prolonged and continuous lack of food intake (chronic), leading to health problems. The primary factor contributing to the risk of CED in pregnant women is insufficient food consumption. This study aims to examine the relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED among pregnant women in the working area of Kawangu Public Health Center, East Sumba Regency. The research method used was analytic observation with a case-control design. The study population consisted of 40 cases and 260 controls, with a sample size of 60 pregnant women (30 cases and 30 controls). Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling, and bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED in pregnant women. Pregnant women with poor dietary patterns had a lower risk of experiencing CED (p=0.000, OR=0.091). Additionally, inadequate meal frequency was also associated with CED (p=0.000, OR=0.026), as was insufficient energy intake (p=0.000, OR=0.014). However, variables such as food type and protein intake did not show a significant relationship with CED. This study recommends that pregnant women receive health education through prenatal classes to improve dietary quality, ensuring that their energy, carbohydrate, protein, vitamin, and mineral needs are adequately met.
