Poor nutritional status is related to the production of too few red blood cells in the body or the production of red blood cells that do not function properly. This research aimed to determine the relationship between iron intake, protein intake, and nutritional status with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester at the Balibo Community Health Center, Bobonaro district in 2024. A quantitative descriptive analytical approach is used, with a cross-sectional study. The target population in this research is pregnant women in the third trimester. With a total sample of 101 respondents, the non-probability sampling technique and the total sampling approach are used. The data collection technique is carried out by measuring CBG, Questionnaire, and also Hemoglobin Levels of Pregnant Women and the Chi-Square statistical test is used. The Results of this research on pregnant women who have ANC consultations at the Balibo community Health Center. Iron intake based on iron-containing foods p-value = 0.013 and for the frequency of consumption of ironcontaining foods p-value = 0.024. Protein intake based on protein-containing foods pvalue = 0.000 and for the frequency of consumption of protein-containing foods p-value = 0.023. CBG nutritional status obtained results from the Chi-square statistical test P value < 0.05, based on the chi-square result 0.000 < 0.05. P value < 0.05, based on the chi-square result 0.000 < 0.05, which means the Null Hypothesis is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis is significant. The conclusion that the research results show that there is a Relationship between Iron Intake, Protein Intake, and Nutritional Status with the Incidence of Anemia in Pregnant Women in the Third Trimester.Keywords: Iron Intake, Protein Intake, Nutritional Status, and Gestational Anemia.
