THE INFLUENCE OF CREDIT RISK, CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY ON THE PROFITABILITY OF BANKS LISTED ON THE INDONESIAN STOCK EXCHANGE

The purpose of this research is to determine and analyse the effect of credit risk, capital adequacy level and operational efficiency on the profitability of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2021. This study is a type of quantitative research that uses a descriptive design. In this study, researchers used secondary data obtained from the financial statements of banking companies. Researchers obtained a population of 46 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2021. The sampling technique uses initial public offering (IPO) sampling, which is a purposive method. Based on the sample characteristics, the authors found 31 banking companies with 93 financial data respondents. The data analysis technique is multiple linear regression using SPSS version 25. The results of this study indicate that credit risk has a negative and significant effect on profitability, capital adequacy has a positive and significant effect on profitability, operational efficiency has a negative and significant effect on profitability. Credit risk, capital adequacy and operational efficiency together have a significant effect on profitability. The result of the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.627 shows that 62.7% of the variation in the adjusted R-squared is explained by variations in the factors Credit Risk (X1), Capital Adequacy (X2), Operational Efficiency (X3). While the remaining 37.3% is influenced by other unobserved factors affecting the profitability variable (Y). Therefore, further research using other variables is needed.

Ergonomic adequacy of university tablet armchairs for male and female: A multigroup item response theory analysis

Brazilian university tablet armchairs, often based on international standards, may not suit students well due to anthropometric differences between sexes. This study developed a scale to compare ergonomic adequacy for male and female students, with the potential to significantly impact the future of school furniture. A closed-ended questionnaire containing a four-point Likert scale was administered to 258 students, covering aspects such as seat, backrest, tablet arm, extension, material holder, and general features. The questionnaire's discriminatory capacity and item difficulty were assessed using the Multigroup Item Response Theory. The items presented satisfactory values of factor loading (F>0.3), commonality (h2>0.2), discrimination (ai>0.7), and difficulty (bi) ∈ [-4.105;4.208]. Furthermore, the items cover information in a good region above and below the mean (-4 <θ < 4) for both genders. The scale presented eight levels ranging from no adequacy (θ ≤ 29.99) to maximum adequacy (θ ≥ 90.00). Male and female exhibited different response patterns, indicating opportunities for furniture improvement for each gender. For example, female often disagree more strongly with ergonomic characteristics at lower levels than male, particularly regarding seat height and backrest width. Male and female responded differently, suggesting varied adequacy needs even at the same adequacy level. These findings could guide Brazilian manufacturers and regulators in producing school furniture considering students' diverse body dimensions and comfort, quality, and safety perceptions.

Sacco Based Financial Characteristics and Financial Performance of Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies in Kenya

In Kenya, Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies have faced significant challenges that have adversely impacted their financial performance. While existing literature has linked financial performance to financial characteristics, there remain conceptual and contextual gaps in empirical research. These gaps prompted the current study to examine SACCO-based financial characteristics as a tool for enhancing the financial performance of DT-SACCOs in Kenya. The study employed a descriptive research design, targeting a population of 190 DT-SACCOs. Using purposive sampling, 181 SACCOs that had been operational since 2018 were selected for analysis. Secondary data from the period 2018 to 2023 were utilized, and a quantitative approach was applied to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics. Panel regression was used to estimate the direct relationship between SACCO-based financial characteristics and financial performance, while also appraising how the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority risk regulations moderated this relationship. The study concluded that capital adequacy had a statistically significant positive effect on financial performance, indicating that stronger capital buffers enhance profitability. In contrast, asset quality and financial investments showed statistically significant negative effects, suggesting that poor loan quality and mismanaged investments negatively impact financial outcomes. Liquidity, however, was positively associated with financial performance, underscoring the importance of maintaining adequate liquidity reserves. Moreover, the relationship between SACCO-based financial characteristics and financial performance was significantly moderated by SASRA risk regulations, highlighting the critical role of regulatory oversight in shaping financial outcomes. Based on these findings, the study recommends that DT-SACCOs in Kenya should: maintain optimal capital adequacy levels to safeguard financial stability; prioritize careful asset quality management and regular loan monitoring to develop sound lending policies; optimize financial investments to ensure sufficient funding for operational expenses; and maintain adequate liquidity levels to meet financial obligations and improve overall performance.

The importance of different forest management systems for people’s dietary quality in Tanzania

ContextA large body of literature has shown that forests provide nutritious foods in many low- and middle-income countries. Yet, there is limited evidence on the contributions from different types of forest and tree systems.ObjectivesHere, we focus on individual trees and smaller forest patches outside established forest reserves as well as different forest management systems.MethodsWe do so by combining novel high-resolution data on tree cover with 24-h dietary recall surveys from 465 women in Tanzania.ResultsWe show that people with more unclassified tree cover (i.e., individual trees and small forest patches) in their nearby surroundings have more adequate protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin A intakes. We also find that having a nearby forest under Participatory Forest Management (PFM) system is associated with higher adequacy levels of energy, iron, zinc and vitamin A. By contrast, tree cover within other types of forest (e.g., Government Forest Reserves and Government Forest Plantations) is not positively associated with people’s dietary quality.ConclusionsOur key finding is that having individual trees, smaller forest patches and/or forest under PFM in close proximity is more beneficial for people’s diets than other types of established forests. Our results highlight the nutritional importance of trees outside established forests and question the often-assumed benefits of forests if these are made inaccessible by social barriers (e.g., legislation). Finally, our results emphasize the need to distinguish between different forest management systems when studying forest-diet linkages.

DRIS nutritional norms and sufficiency range for the perola pineapple cultivation

Pineapple plants needs to be nutritionally balanced to reach maximum productivity potential. Therefore, the most current parameters must be used, centered on plant nutritional status diagnosis methodologies developed through leaf chemical analysis, which consider the relationships between nutrients and take advantage of data from productivity monitoring and foliar diagnosis of crops. This study aimed to establish nutrient norms and sufficiency ranges for pineapple in the Triângulo Mineiro, MG, Brazil, using the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS). To achieve the proposed objectives, productivity data and chemical analysis of leaf tissue from 88 commercial farming plots of 'Pérola’ pineapple, sampled between the 2018 and 2019 harvests, in the Triângulo Mineiro were used. The DRIS method was used to establish the norms and sufficiency ranges of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn. The average nutritional balance index (NBIm) did not correlate with productivity. However, the content of P, Ca, Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn highly correlated with their respective nutritional indices. The sufficiency ranges and the adequacy levels of nutrients differed from the values established for pineapple in the literature.

Self-care styles of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A mixed methods case study

BackgroundIn people affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), self-care is crucial for improving quality of life, decreasing symptom burden, and reducing health care-related costs. Unlike other chronic conditions, little is known about the factors that influence different self-care styles in COPD patients. ObjectivesTo explore the factors that could influence the self-care styles of patients with COPD. MethodsA mixed methods case study design was used. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected at the same stage in a purposive sample of patients with COPD through questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Data were analyzed separately and then integrated to compare the cases. ResultsThirty-seven patients with COPD were recruited from an outpatient clinic, pulmonary rehabilitation unit and online in a patient support group. On average, participants scored below the level of adequacy in all self-care dimensions. Self-care maintenance was influenced by patient age, education level, and economic status. Most participants reported performing self-care behaviors, while some did not because they found it difficult or because they did not recognize their importance. When the quantitative and qualitative data of patients with higher and lower levels of self-care were integrated, four different styles of self-care were identified according to COPD severity, psychological distress and level of self-efficacy: proactive, inactive, reactive, and hypoactive. ConclusionsPersonal, clinical, psychological, and social factors not only influence the level of self-care performed by COPD patients but also contribute to the understanding of different self-care styles. This knowledge could support health care professionals in tailoring educational interventions.

The Association Between Energy Adequacy Level And Physical Activity With Nutri-tional Status In Adolescents At Walisongo High School, Ketanggungan

Growth during adolescence is rapid due to the development of muscle mass and fat tissue as well as hormonal changes that affect the nutritional needs of adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine how the nutritional status of adolescents and the level of energy adequacy and physical activity relate to each other. This type of research uses a cross-sectional design. The number of samples taken with simple random sampling technique in this study was 152 people. Data collection of energy adequacy level using SQ-FFQ, physical activity data with PAL questionnaire, and nutritional status of respondents obtained from measurements of BW and TB. The results showed that most participants had an adequate level of energy sufficiency (65.1%) according to the Spearman Rank test, physical activity was mostly in the moderate category (63.8%), and the majority had good nutritional status (80.9%). The results of the Spearman Rank test showed that there was a significant correlation between the level of energy adequacy and nutritional status (p value = 0.045) and there was a significant correlation between physical activity and nutritional status (p value = 0.021). The conclusion is that there is a significant correlation between the level of energy adequacy and physical activity with nutritional status in adolescents at Walisongo Ketanggungan High School. It is recommended for the school to collaborate with the health department or local health center to make preventive and promotive efforts related to nutritional status problems through education about General Guidelines for Balanced Nutrition (PUGS).

This research aims to determined the effect of feed adequacy on the production and quality of dairy goat milk in Turi District. This research was carried out in the field and laboratory from 01 to 24 October 2023. A total of 98 dairy goat breeders were selected as respondents with the criteria of having at least 1 year of farming experience and having at least 2 animals. From each goat they raise, milk samples are taken to test the quality in the laboratory. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and by multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the average age of farmers is 44 years, with an education level of 86% high school graduates, the number of family dependents of 4-5 people is 67%, the majority work as farmers 52% (69% ≤10 years and 31% ≥11 years). Livestock ownership status is 100% privately owned with an average ownership of 2-5 heads. The average body weight of dairy goats was 40.13 ± 6.91 kg, with milk production of 2.21 ± 0.51 liters/day. Furthermore, the milk quality variable shows that the average specific gravity and non-fat solids are 1.055 ± 0.08 and 8.42 ± 0.43. Feed adequacy (Dry Matter) is 1.43 and Crude Protein adequacy is 7.44. Milk production was significantly (p&lt;0.05) 52.6% influenced by the level of feed adequacy with the regression equation Y = -1.513 + 0.033XI + 0.495X2. Meanwhile, milk density was 48.5% influenced by the level of feed adequacy (p&gt;0.05) with the regression equation Y = 1.043 + 0.073XI - 0.013X2. Likewise, the lean solitaire variable which was not significant (p&gt;0.05) was influenced by the level of feed adequacy (0.75%) with the regression equation Y = 6.874 + 0.155XI + 0.183X2. It was concluded that the adequacy of feed for dairy goats in Turi District for production was sufficient and for milk quality it was in accordance with the 2011 SNI.

COMPLICATED SENTENCE AS AN INDICATOR OF A VIRTUAL SPEAKER’S INTELLECTUAL LEVEL

The paper looks at the problem of correlation of cognitive processes taking place in the person’s cognition with the syntactic organization of their speech. The speech of any individuum mirrors their thinking, and this is one of the ways they come to know their environment, acquire cognitive experience for building up their own picture of the world. In the process and due to communication, a human is shaped as an individual with a certain intellectual level of mind. The presented work is focused on syntactic peculiarities of the English-language verbal message, produced depending on the intellectual level of the virtual speaker. The topicality of the conducted scientific research consists in lingual and gnoseological need to penetrate into the cognitive-communicative essence of the processes of generating messages, and is motivated by the lack of serious scientific research of this problem. The objective of this paper consists in singling out a scientifically valid criterion for determining the intellectual level of a virtual speaker in the aspect of syntactic construction of sentences inherent to him. The starting point of this research was an assumption that there are certain typologically different structural sentence models, preferred by representatives of a certain psychological group of individuals. In our previous studies, it was established that in dialogue communication, simple sentences prevail among other structural types, while complex sentences take the third place in terms of use frequency with almost all speakers, regardless of their education level, social status, and cognitive abilities. According to our observations, a striking contrast can be seen in the native speakers’ use of complicated sentences, the grammatical status of which is not fully specified in grammar. The carried-out research specifies the concept of “complicated sentence”, and by means of comparative analysis of speech samples provided by the protagonists’ of three English novels captured at different stages of their lives, this type of sentence is determined as an indicator of the speakers’ cognitive peculiarities at the level of syntax. It is suggested that, in contrast to the surface representation, deep structures of human speech organization correlate with deep structures of human thought activity. Hence, a high intelligence level of an individuum is reflected not only at the level of adequacy of information perception, but also in the form of message representation and generation, namely, mainly in the constructions with a hidden deep structure of predication.

THE ANALYSIS FACTORS OF CAPITAL ADEQUACY ON INDONESIA “BUKU-4” BANK CATEGORY

In this paper, the researcher contribute to extending the prior literature on the bank BUKU Category by investigating the influence of capital adequacy ratio factors. On the previous studies, the factors of banking capital adequacy ratio can be influenced by several factors such as Non-Performing Loans (NPL), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Return on Assets (ROA), and Size. In previous research stated that NPL and LDR as partially had a negative effect on the Capital Adequacy Ratio, ROA and Size had a positive effect on the Capital Adequacy Ratio level. In this study, the researchers used seven sample of commercial banks included in the Bank BUKU-4 Category as commercial banks with huge capital category in the 2018-2022 period. As Random Effect Model (REM) chosen to be the estimation model. Our findings provide empirical support on the findings researh of Azizah and Taswan's research, that simultaneously the NPL, LDR, ROA and SIZE have an influence on the capital adequacy ratio level of Commercial Banks which are included in the BUKU-4 bank category. However, partially, the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable is differences. NPL has an influence on CAR, LDR has a negative influence on CAR, ROA has a positive influence on CAR, and Size has a negative influence on CAR. The implication of this research is that when commercial banks included on the BUKU-4 Bank category, the commercial banks that included on BUKU-4 Bank category are banks that are considered stable with a capital capacity of more than 70 trillion rupiah so that the NPL, LDR and Size levels have no larger effect. Because the huge of commercial banks which is included are whose financial levels are stable so that not has a big impact on the level of capital adequacy in BUKU-4 category commercial banks, the level of profit obtained by these banks. However, it does not rule out the possibility that apart from the variables that have been studied, there are other variables that can have a big influence on the level of capital adequacy other than those mentioned by the researchers in this study

Development of an Audiovisual Tool on Peripheral Arterial Disease and Preliminary Suitability Assessment

Background: Increasing health literacy in people with chronic illness is essential to prevent disease complications and to promote responsible and conscious decision-making. Therefore, an audiovisual tool was developed to promote literacy about peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a hospital setting, and a preliminary evaluation of the tool’s suitability was carried out. Material and Methods: The tool was developed by a multidisciplinary team. The preliminary assessment of the suitability study of an audiovisual tool was carried out with a sample of 7 patients with PAD admitted to an Angiology and Vascular Surgery Service and with a group of four professionals specialized in the subject (health literacy and PAD). The design, elaboration, and production of the audiovisual tool were based on a literature review, an informal focus group with patients, a communication model, and an empirical model of behavioral change. Through this preliminary suitability assessment study, we identified the suitability characteristics of this audiovisual tool that can be transmitted in waiting rooms and vascular surgery hospitalizations. The Suitable Assessment of Material (SAM) was used by professionals and patients to obtain different appropriateness factors for each of the 11 videos. Results: The audiovisual tool developed and built for patients with PAD proved to be accessible, understandable, and attractive for people with low levels of education. The patients were satisfied with the audiovisual tool and highlighted positive points, also reporting some suggestions for changes. Health professionals evaluated the 11 videos with a high level of adequacy ranging from 82% to 93.05% adequacy. Out of 19 factors (from the SAM), the quality of the illustrations, the presence of tables and lists, and stimulation and incentive to learning were the two dimensions scored as least appropriate/used. Conclusion: The audiovisual tool developed to improve health literacy on PAD presented preliminary suitability characteristics that make it a high-quality material to be used in future studies that evaluate the effectiveness of the tool with this population.

Adverse impact of capital regulatory reform and policy remedy: theory and evidence

This paper studies the impact of capital regulatory reform on firm behavior. We develop a portfolio-choice model to investigate how capital regulatory reforms influence the risk-taking behavior of financial institutions with different capital adequacy levels. The model predicts that as regulation becomes more stringent, either all firms reduce their risk-taking, or there exists a capital-adequacy threshold below which risk-taking increases. The Chinese insurance solvency regulatory reform provides a unique natural experiment to examine firms’ risk-taking responses to the capital shock driven by the reform. We find that increasing regulatory pressure – i.e. a more stringent regulation – induces greater risk-taking for less capital-adequate insurers, the insurers whose risk-taking the regulator most wants to reduce. We rule out the potential reverse causality that insurers’ risk structures prior to the reform determine their degrees of capital shock and that insurers target low capital-adequate positions by taking more risks prior to the reform. Our results suggest that reinforcing the qualitative risk assessment, increasing the penalties of insolvent insurers, and increasing the risk sensitivity of capital requirements could be effective policy remedies for this backfiring problem.

Levels Of Nutritional Adequacy And Bioavailability Of Iron With The Incident Of Anemia In Pregnant Women In Gorontalo City

The level of adequate nutrition and iron availability in pregnant women can cause anemia, and inadequate food intake during pregnancy can affect Hb levels. The research formulation is about the incidence of anemia in pregnant women and whether there is a relationship between the level of adequate nutrition of energy, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and bioavailability and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. This research aims to analyze the level of adequacy and bioavailability of iron with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. This type of observational research uses a cross-sectional design. This research was carried out at 10 Community Health Centers in Gorontalo City. The sample in this study consisted of 165 pregnant women using cluster random sampling techniques with bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test and multivariate analysis using the multinominal logistic regression test. The results of data analysis on the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women were 52.7%. The relationship between the level of nutritional adequacy and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women is energy ( P value = 0.029 ≤ α = 0.05), protein (P value = 0.045 ≤ α = 0.05), vitamin A ( P value = 0.108 ≥ α = 0 .05), vitamin C ( P value = 0.003 ≤ α = 0.05), Iron ( P value = 0.004 ≤ α = 0.05), bioavailability ( P value = 0.016 ≤ α = 0.05). There is a relationship between adequate levels of the nutrients energy, protein, vitamin C, iron, and iron bioavailability with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women, and there is no relationship between adequate levels of the nutrient vitamin A and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Pregnant women increase their need for good nutrition during pregnancy to prevent anemia.

Determination of Household Food Consumption Patterns in East Baturaja District OKU Regency

The income level will influence household spending patterns. In conditions of limited income, low-income or poor households will prioritise allocating their income to buying food. This income will be used to spend on food for survival so it will affect the quantity and quality of household food consumption. Good quality food consumption indicates that nutritional adequacy levels are met. This research analyses the factors influencing household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency. This research used a survey method and was carried out in three sub-districts in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, namely Kemala Raja, Sekar Jaya and Tanjung Baru Villages. The method for determining respondents is random sampling using the Parell et all (1973) formula with the statement if the variance of the total population is unknown, so the best way to determine the sample is to use a percentage of the entire population, namely 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% or 50% of the population. The population is 2126 families, obtained by 2%, namely 42.52 and determined to be 43 families. This research used multiple linear regression models to determine the factors influencing food consumption patterns using multiple linear analyses. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the factors that influence household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, are income (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4). The variable that has the most influence on household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, is the income level variable (X1). Simultaneously or together, the income variable (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4) has a significant influence. R2 showed this with a value of 97.9%.

Complex modeling of complicated processes: analytical model parameters adaptation in solving qualimetric problems

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that despite the sustainable development of methods and technologies for creating models of various classes and purposes, the tasks of managing their quality (the so-called inverse problems of theoretical qualimetry) are often neglected. For example, in the field of information technology, much more attention is paid to assessing the quality of software products, which is reflected in the corresponding standards. These tasks become especially relevant when models reflect a complex process (CP), and such processes may be unique, and obtaining complete objective data on such CPs prior to modeling is difficult or impossible (accidents and disasters models, military operations, natural disasters, and others like that). The article’s main purpose is to consider the issues of solving the inverse qualimetric problem by parametric adaptation of analytical models to unpredictable possible changes in the complex processes’ nature. The solution to this problem is based on the combined (analytical and simulation) modeling of unique processes. Theoretical qualimetry involves a quantitative assessment of any product's qualitative properties; to ensure the adequacy level of analytical models (based on the results of their parametric adaptation), it is planned to evaluate with the use of well-known metrology principles regarding relative measurement deviations. In this case, detailed simulation modelling results are used as a reference for combined modelling. The complexity of the processes conditiond by the expediency of their polymodel description in order to mutually compensate for the objective deficiencies of heterogeneous models, as well as the use of simulation capabilities to adjust the parameters of analytical models in cases where the use of the latter is due to strict time constraints on obtaining calculation results and developing control actions based onthem. A variant of the formalized statement of the problem of parametric adaptation of analytical models is presented. A presented example that considers the adaptation of parameters of the Lanchestertype analytical model conducted on simulation data. The adaptation of parameters could be carried out in different ways, and the expediency of choosing a certain one is determined by the assessment of mutual deviations of the results of heterogeneous modeling. The results of the calculations witnesses that parametric adaptation can be an effective element in solving one of the key tasks of model qualimetry, namely, ensuring their required qualitative properties. The prospect of further research is to consider the issues of structural adaptation of simulation models to the given conditions for displaying complex processes.

Evaluation of the Adequacy Level of Nutritional Substances (Vitamins) with the Incident of Stunting in Children in the Working Area of the Surabaya City Health Center

Stunting is a condition where height growth disorders arise due to malnutrition, so that a child's height does not correspond to his age. The aim of this research is to evaluate the use of vitamins and minerals in stunting cases in several Surabaya Community Health Centers. The results of this research are descriptive with prospective data collection. The number of respondents obtained was 64 stunting child patients who met the inclusion criteria. Based on the results of child demographics according to age, the most stunting child patients were 32 patients aged 48 – 60 months (50%). Based on gender, the results were balanced between women and men. Based on a history of exclusive breastfeeding, the majority had a history of exclusive breastfeeding, 52 patients (81.25%). Based on birth weight, the highest number of patients with a normal weight (&gt;2500) grams was 53 patients (82.82%). Based on disease history, the majority did not have a history of disease, 53 patients (82.82%). The vitamins and minerals used in stunting cases in several Surabaya Community Health Centers are Optima Zinc Syrup, Vitamin and Mineral Powder, Taburia, and Vitamin A Capsules, with the rules and duration of use according to those given. Based on the results of nutritional status assessments at several Surabaya Community Health Centers, it was found that the majority of children were underweight based on Z-Score BW/U, had short status based on Z-Score BH/U, and had good nutritional status based on Z-Score BW/BH. The results of the nutritional status assessment concluded that the majority of children were underweight based on Z-Score BW/U, had short status based on Z-Score BH/U, and had good nutritional status based on Z-Score BW/BH.

Correlation Between The Adequacy Of Protein And Vitamin Intake With The Incidence Of Anemia In Pregnant Women

Background: Nutritional deficiencies in pregnant women can affect fetal growth and development and cause anemia during pregnancy. Anemia can be characterized by hemoglobin concentration lower than a normal boundary. This study investigates the correlation between the adequacy of protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and folic acid intake and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women at Ngoro Health Center.Research Methods: The research is analytically observational, using a cross-sectional design. The study subjects were 52 pregnant women using a purposive sampling technique. Anemia in pregnant women was obtained from the results of hemoglobin level checks recorded in the Antenatal Care (ANC) visit logbook. Meanwhile, the adequacy of protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and folic acid intake was obtained from interviews using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) form. The statistical correlation between categorical variables was analyzed using the chi-square test.Research Result: The study found that out of 52 pregnant women, it was known that the pregnant women's adequacy level of intake for protein (65.4%) was classified as less, vitamin C (94.2%) was classified as good, vitamin A (98.1%) was classified as good, vitamin B12 (69.2%) was classified as good, and folic acid (76.9%) was classified as good. Statistical test results showed that the adequacy of protein intake (p 0.001), vitamin B12 (p 0.035), and folic acid (p 0.021) correlates with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.Conclusion: Based on this study, there is a significant correlation between the adequacy of protein, vitamin B12, and folic acid intake, but no correlation between the adequacy of vitamin C and vitamin A intake with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the working area of Ngoro Health Center, Mojokerto Regency. Pregnant women are expected to pay more attention to their nutrition intake during pregnancy.
