Abstract

Levels of hemoglobin is one of the most common indicator used to determine the status of iron deficiency anemia, which is closely related by intake of protein and iron that increased and must be adequate during pregnancy. The aim of study was to explain relationship between %RDA of protein and iron with levels of hemoglobin at pregnant mother in Bogor City. The design of this study was cross-sectional study, and the number of samples were 45 pregnant women. The result of the research show that the anemia prevalence was 22.2%. Consumption of animal foods as a source of iron was still low (60.3 g) it might for 68.8% of the samples had inadequate iron. Intake of vitamin C as a enhancer of iron bioavailability was 27.0 mg. This study has shown that intake of heme iron (6.9 mg) was lower than the non-heme iron (10.4 mg). Most of sample on group anemia and non anemia has %RDA of energy and protein as a deficit level of heavy and then %RDA of vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid, and iron as a deficit. Results test correlation show there is no relation between %RDA of protein and iron with levels of hemoglobin (p>0.05)
