Data on pregnant women with anemia at the Sangurara Community Health Center in 2023 is 23 people. Purpose: The aim was to determine the relationship between age and parity with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester at the Sangurara Community Health Center, Palu City. Methods: This research design uses observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 635 pregnant women and the number of samples used was 86 respondents, with a sampling technique namely Purposive Sampling.

Results: The results of the research showed that 23.4% of mothers of healthy age experienced anemia and 36.4% of mothers of healthy age experienced anemia. Mothers who have no parity are at risk of experiencing anemia as much as 28.2%, while mothers with parity ≥3 experience anemia as much as 25.5%. The results of the analysis obtained an age p-value of 0.237 (p > 0.05) and a parity p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that there is no relationship between age and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester and there is a relationship between parity and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester in the Sangurara Community Health Center area. Researchers hope to improve services and provide information so that they can reduce the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.]]>
