Description

Strictly Globally, in 2020, the global prevalence of anemia was 29.9% in women of childbearing

age, equivalent to more than half a billion women aged 15-49 years. The prevalence in non-
pregnant women of childbearing age was 29.6%, and 36.5% in pregnant women. In Indonesia in

2019 for data on the coverage of giving TTD (Blood Added Tablets) for pregnant women by 64%.
While in Indonesia in 2018 the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 48.9% (Ministry of
HealthRI, 2020). In Banten Province, in 2022 the incidence of anemia is still very high with a
prevalence of 37.1%, while the chance of anemia incidence (prevalence) in pregnant women in the
Serang Regency area is 72.5% with an average Hb level of 9.7 gr/dL (Wu, 2020) (Mardhiati, 2022)
When a woman is pregnant, the woman's body will form more red blood cells that aim to meet the
needs of oxygen and also as a transport of nutrients to the fetus. To produce red blood cells, many
components are needed, one of which is iron (Fe). Iron (Fe) in the human body is useful for the
formation of hemoglobin which is in charge of carrying oxygen to red blood cells, therefore iron
intake for pregnant women is important to note because there is an increase in the need for iron
(Fe) during pregnancy (PURANTIRA, 2023)
Iron is needed to help the body produce fresh red blood cells that are rich in oxygen and nutrients.
Blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients are very important to support the process of fetal growth and
development and maintain optimal placental conditions. Iron deficiency anemia is the lack of
eating iron-rich foods, such as animal protein from before and during pregnancy. This anemia
condition will cause various negative effects such as babies born prematurely (babies born
prematurely), low birth weight (low birth weight), even fatal ones can cause maternal and infant
death (Tiyasasih, 2023). Anemia has a negative impact even in all cycles of pregnancy to childbirth
including: anemia during pregnancy can increase the risk of postpartum depression, anemia during
