Anemia, chronic energy deficiency and their relationship in preconception women.

This study aims to assess the prevalence of anemia and chronic energy deficiency (CED), and their relationship in preconceptions women in Takalar District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study was a cross-sectional study of 300 preconceptions women. Data were collected by questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and 24-h recall. Hemoglobin was assessed using Hemocue. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression tests. Most mothers aged 20-30 years (65.3%) and the length of education was 10-12 years (41%) and the average income was 1-2 million (46.7%). The prevalence of anemia was 23% and chronic energy deficiency (CED) was 18%. There was some factor related to chronic energy deficiency, among others age (P=0.000), education (P=0.020), occupation (P=0.034), parity (P=0.000), and also between anemia with CED (P=0.018). After controlling for other variables there was an influence of anemia 2 times more likely to suffer from chronic energy deficiency. We found that the prevalence of anemia and chronic energy deficiency (CED) is still high in preconception women and there is a significant borderline between anemia and CED.
