Chronic energy deficiency (KEK) is a state of malnutrition in unfavorable conditions. The need for pregnant women will increase from the usual exchange of almost all very active loads, especially in the third trimester. Therefore, an increase in the amount of food consumption needs to be increased, especially the consumption of food sources of energy to meet all the needs of the mother & fetus, so if a little consumption will cause malnutrition or usually called KEK. The research objective was to determine the factors associated with the less chronic incidence in pregnant women. This research is a quantitative study, conducted with a descriptive-analytic, using a cross-sectional study approach. Cross-section design. The research sample was 44 respondents with Fisher's test. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between knowledge and the incidence of KEK in pregnant women using Fisher's test, the p-value is 0.004 (p <0.05). , 05), there is no relationship between parity and SEZ occurrence using Fisher's test, the p-value is obtained at 0.533 (p> 0.05). The conclusion in this study is that there is a relationship between knowledge and economic level with the incidence of KEK, there is no relationship between parity and the incidence of KEK in pregnant women. Suggestions for research to further expand the research sample not only to focus on pregnant women, but researchers can also examine adolescents and also pregnant women who experience chronic energy deficiency add research variables such as those that have not been researched, namely factors from disease infections and sources of disease. related to the incidence of KEK, Increasing the research period, with a longer period and it is hoped that more accurate and unusual research results can be obtained.
According to who (world health organization) the incidence of malnutrition in pregnant women ranges from 20-48% maternal mortality (AKI) in central Java during 2012 reached 678 (5.6%) cases, tending to increase compared to the previous year. In 2011 the number of AKI was recorded at 668 (5.5%) cases from 592,000 pregnant women, while in 2012 the number of AKI increased to 678 (5.6%) cases from 604,000 pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to find out the factors associated with the incidence of chronic energy deprivation (KEK) in pregnant women in the working area of Ponre Health Center of Bulukumba Regency in 2020. The research method used is quantitative research where this research uses research design with cross design sectional study. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge levels and income levels with the incidence of chronic energy deprivation (KEK) in pregnant women in Ponre Health Center of Bulukumba Regency, but there was no relationship between paritas or the number of pregnancies and the incidence of chronic less energy (KEK). Based on the results of research that has been done, taking into account the limitations that exist is expected for future research to improve these things and expand the sample of research not only focusing on pregnant women researchers can also examine adolescents and also partus mothers who experience chronic lack of energy (KEK).
