The condition of anemia can harm both pregnant women and their unborn offspring. The causes of anemia are closely associated with nutritional intake and other risk factors, such as maternal age and parity. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between parity and the prevalence of third-trimester anemia at the South Bolaang Mongondow General Hospital. A quantitative cross-sectional analytical observational design was used in this investigation. Women at the South Bolaang Mongondow Hospital who were in the third trimester of pregnancy participated in the study. Seventy third-trimester pregnant women were selected as the sample, which was selected using data from medical records from January to March 2025. To determine the characteristics of the respondents and the frequency distribution, univariate analysis was conducted. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation test was used to conduct bivariate analysis. According to the study's findings, the relationship between parity and the incidence of anemia in third-trimester pregnant women at South Bolaang Mongondow Regional General Hospital yielded a Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) of -0.404 and a significance value (p) of 0.001. In summary, the correlation is -0.404.
