Abstract

The preconception period is the time before pregnancy, during which preconception women are assumed to be adult women or women of childbearing age ready to become mothers, where nutritional needs during this period differ from those of children, adolescents, or the elderly. Pre-marital women suffering from undernutrition can lead to anemia, maternal death during childbirth, fetal death, low birth weight babies (LBW), premature birth, birth defects, and infant death. This study aims to examine the relationship between the nutritional status of preconception women and the consumption of Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMN), nutritional counseling involvement, and the frequency of nutritional counseling attendance.The study design is cross-sectional. The population consists of all preconception women who meet the inclusion criteria in the Batui Selatan district.
