Anemia hampir terjadi di seluruh dunia, terutama di negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Ibu hamil adalah salah satu kelompok rawan gizi yang berisiko terjadi anemia. Dampak anemia dalam kehamilan sangat luas baik mulai dari kehamilan itu sendiri sampai melahirkan dan nifas. Secara tidak langsung anemia merupakan penyebab kesakitan dan kematian baik ibu maupun bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil dengan desain cross sectional yang dianalisis menggunakan uji chisquare. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 110 responden yang dilakukan di Puskesmas Kecamatan Palmerah Jakarta Barat pada Mei 2013. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebanyak 37,3% responden mengalami anemia dalam kehamilan. Rata-rata Hb adalah 11,5 gr%. Hb terendah 10 gr% dan Hb tertinggi 13 gr%. Analisi bivariat menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara usia dengan anemia (OR=3,04; CI 95%=1,3-7,4), jarak kehamilan (OR=0,017; CI 95%=1,3-6,3), paritas (OR=0,026; CI 95%=1,2-6,7). Terdapat juga hubungan yang signifikan antara pola konsumsi makanan (0,038; 1,1-5,6), edukasi gizi/konseling gizi (0,023; 1,3-11,4), dan pemberian tablet Fe (0,005; 1,6-13,3). Perlu adanya konseling gizi/edukasi gizi baik secara individu maupun kelompok untuk menurunkan kejadian anemia.

This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women with a crosssectional design were analyzed using chi-square test. The research sample of 110 respondents conducted in West Jakarta District Health Clinics Palmerah in May 2013. The results showed as much as 37.3% of respondents experienced anemia in pregnancy. The average hemoglobin was 11.5 g%. Lowest Hb 10 g% and the highest Hb 13 g%. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age and anemia (OR = 3.04; 95% CI = 1.3 to 7.4), spacing of pregnancy (OR =0.017; 95% CI = 1.3 to 6.3) , parity (OR = 0.026; 95% CI = 1.2 to 6.7). There is also a significant correlation between the pattern of food consumption (0.038; 1.1 to 5.6), nutrition education / nutrition counseling (0,023; 1.3 to 11.4), and Fe tablet (0.005; 1.6 to 13 , 3). Need for nutritional counseling / nutrition education,both individually and collectively to reduce the incidence of anemia.
