Sociodemographic factors associated with anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia: an analysis of data from the Health Social Security Administering Agency (HSSA)

The presence of anemia in pregnant women continues to be a significant public health issue, since it has the potential to raise the risk of morbidity and death. This study's purpose is to research the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women and to determine whether or not there is a link between the disease and characteristics such as home area, financial circumstances, and the year of visit. For the purpose of this research, a cross-sectional design and a quantitative-analytical technique were used. The data that correspond to nutritional anemia were analyzed using information obtained from the Health Social Security Administration (HSSA) dataset. There were 3,513 people that participated in the research, and the kind of data analysis that was used was called the Spearman Rank. It has been shown that the most common reason for anemia in pregnant women is a lack of iron in their bodies. On the island of Java, where the frequency of anemia is significant, the Cirebon Regency had the largest number of pregnant women who were affected by the condition. It was shown that there is a statistically significant link between the incidence of anemia among pregnant women and factors such as the location of residence (p-value <0.001), economic position (p-value <0.001), and the year of visit (p-value <0.001).
