INTRODUCTION Pregnant women are vulnerable groups who are very susceptible to nutritional problems, especially the problem of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CHD) which is characterised by the value of upper arm circumference (LILA)
METHODOLOGY This study is a quantitative study with a cross sectional design conducted at the Paal V Health Centre Work Area in Jambi City in August 2023. The sample in this study amounted to 24 pregnant women. The sampling technique used porposive sampling technique. Data collected univariate and bivariate with the Chi-Square test
RESULT Univariate results showed that there were 23 (95.8%) with poor knowledge. Carbohydrate macronutrient intake 20 (83.3%) was insufficient, Protein intake 21 (87.5%) was insufficient, fat intake 14 (58.4%) was sufficient and iron micronutrient intake 17 (70.8%) and Vitamin C 21 (87.5%) was sufficient. Based on the results of Bivariate analysis showed a relationship between the level of knowledge with the incidence of SEZ (p-value=0.022) and the relationship between macronutrient intake (carbohydrates and protein) with (p-value=0.001 and pvalue=0.000), there was no relationship between fat intake with the incidence of SEZ (p-value=0.711) and there was no relationship between micronutrient intake (iron p-value=0.315 and vitamin C p-value=0.408) with the incidence of CED.
CONCLUSION From the results of the study it was concluded that the level of knowledge and macronutrient intake (carbohydrates and protein) had a significant relationship to the incidence of SEZ while (Fat) did not have a significant relationship and micronutrient intake (Vitamin C and Iron) did not have a significant relationship to the incidence of SEZ in pregnant women.
