West Sumatra Province has seen a prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women of 14.3% in 2018, which increased to 14.5% in 2021. This research aims to identify the factors causing Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women in the working area of Pariaman Community Health Center, Pariaman District. The study was conducted in July-August 2023. It is a quantitative study with a descriptive analytical design using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 272 individuals, with purposive (nonprobability) sampling used to select 73 pregnant women as the sample. The instrument utilized was a questionnaire, and the data collected were computerized and analyzed using the chi-square test.The results of the study indicate that there is no significant relationship between the duration of pregnancy and CED, with a risk of 41.2%, p = 0.692 > (0.05). However, a significant relationship was found between inadequate food intake and CED, with a risk of 46.0%, p = 0.004 < (0.05), as well as between the presence of disease/infection and CED, with a risk of 44.9%, p = 0.013 < (0.05). Additionally, there was no significant relationship between low levels of knowledge and CED, with a risk of 29.2%, p = 0.314 > (0.05).In conclusion, this study reveals that there is no correlation between the duration of pregnancy and CED, but there is a significant association between inadequate food intake and CED, as well as between the presence of disease/infection and CED. Recommendations for healthcare providers, especially at health centers, include using these findings as a basis to enhance public awareness and education on the prevention of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women.
