Chronic Energi-Deficient (CED) is mainly caused by an imbalance of nutrient intake that can lead to the growth of the body both physically and mentally imperfect.CED in pregnant women is also at risk of giving birth to babies with low birth weight (LBW).LBW has a complex impact to adulthood, including increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, metabolic and immune disorders and physical endurance which results in the economic burden of individuals and society.This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with CED.While the research hypothesis is that there is a correlation between socioeconomic level and energi intake, level of knowledge and level of education with CED of pregnant women . The study was conducted in 10 villages in Purwojati District, Banyumas, Central Java.97 respondents of pregnant women were taken accidentally respectively2 pregnant women every village.As the inclusion criteria, pregnant women live in the study area and are willing as respondents, while as an exclusion criterion are pregnant women who do not allow the upper arm to be measured.A small percentage of gestational age is less than 12 weeks, and a small proportion of pregnant women are a pre-prosperous category and 10.0% of pregnant women suffer from CED.For energi intake and macro nutrients only a small portion is greater than 80.0% RDA.While for all micronutrient intake above 100.0% RDA.The statistical test results concluded that there was no correlation between socioeconomic status (p = 1,000), energi intake (p = 0.632), knowledge level (p = 0.491) and education level (p = 0.309) with CED status for pregnant women .
