Abstract

One of the indirect causes of preventable maternal and child mortality is the health status of pregnant women. Pregnant women with SEZ conditions are at risk of experiencing decreased muscle strength, which is needed in the process of labor so that it can result in fetal death, premature birth, birth defects, low birth weight babies, short birth babies and even infant death. The design used is quantitative with a cross sectional approach with univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. The population of this study were all pregnant women who did pregnancy checks at the Puskesmas in Kupang City in 2022. Sample technique using purposive sampling technique. This study was conducted from January to December 2022. The results showed that of all pregnant women who were given nutrition education in the form of counseling and provision of additional food, most experienced weight gain. In contrast to the increase in LiLA, although there is a change in the size of LiLA after being given education, there are still pregnant women who do not experience changes in LiLA. The statistical test results obtained a p-value <0.005, which means that there is a relationship between the provision of nutrition education and the improvement of the nutritional status of pregnant women with SEZ. It is expected for health workers to carry out special monitoring of pregnant women at risk of SEZ in conducting health checks and consuming additional nutritionally balanced foods.

Abstract

The nutritional status of women before marriage significantly impacts their physical readiness and reproductive health. An unbalanced diet—whether due to deficiency or excess—can affect fertility and fetal health. Women with undernutrition may experience menstrual irregularities, difficulty conceiving, or give birth to low-birth-weight babies. Meanwhile, overnutrition can lead to obesity and pregnancy complications. Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet before marriage is crucial for supporting pregnancy and the health of both the mother and the baby. According to the results of the 2023 Indonesia Health Survey, the prevalence of BMI-based nutritional status in NTT Province was 14.5% wasting, 56.3% normal, 12.1% overweight, and 17.1% obese, while the prevalence of KEK was 28.0% among pregnant women and 35.7% among non-pregnant women. This study aims to determine the nutritional status (BMI, mid-upper arm circumference, and waist circumference) of premarital women. The study design used was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The study results show that the majority of respondents had a BMI-based nutritional status in the normal category (65.3%), while 27.8% were overweight and 6.9% were underweight. Based on LILA measurements, the majority of respondents fell into the normal category (88.9%), while 13.9% were at risk of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED). Meanwhile, waist circumference measurements indicated that 37.5% of respondents were in the obese category. The nutritional status of premarital women in the Alak Community Health Center’s service area is mostly normal. However, some still suffer from obesity; therefore, regular nutrition education and monitoring are necessary.
