<![CDATA[Low Birth Weight in newborns is influenced by the mother's nutritional history, such as Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) and Iron Anemia (ABG). Nutritional status before and during pregnancy can affect fetal growth. If the mother's nutritional status is normal before and during pregnancy, it is likely to give birth to a healthy, full-term baby with a normal weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Anemia and CED in pregnant women on the incidence of LBW at Lelilef Health Center. Quantitative research design with a Retrospective Study approach. Independent variables are pregnant women with Anemia and CED, and Dependent variables are LBW. The study population is all newborns at Lelilef Health Center, amounting to 135 respondents. The study sample is all newborns at Lelilef Health Center with the Total Sampling technique. Statistical tests using Logistic Regression. The results of the study showed that most pregnant women with anemia gave birth to LBW, as many as 70 (51.9%), and almost half of pregnant women with CED gave birth to LBW, as many as 52 (38.5%). Data analysis using Logistic Regression Test obtained significant results, P value < a = 0.001 < 0.005, which means there is a relationship between the incidence of anemia and KEK in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW at Lelilef Health Center. Health workers must provide education regarding the consumption of Fe Tablets and nutritional intake during pregnancy.]]>
