Relationship of Giving Pill/Syrup Fe (Iron) Complex, Parity, ANC Examination, and the Age of Women Giving Birth to BBLR

This research focuses on the correlation among underweight Babies at Birth (BBLR) with giving Fe pills, parity, Ante Natal Care (ANC), and the age women of giving birth. Though the cause of stunting is multi-factorial, BBLR is one of the causes of stunting. So it is important to investigate deeply BBLR itself. Based on any references, BBLR is caused by many factors as well.  Anemia acute happened to pregnant women, long stress the pregnant women which make them lost appetite and age of women relatively takes effect of BBLR. This research uses Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) 2018 as secondary data. Based on it, there were 340 respondents and 355 births. The total population who suffered stunting is 5,4% of 355 births. From 5,4% of BBLR occurred at under 20 old women, birth order (parity). The result of the research, there is no correlation between the Fe pill, parity, ANC, and age of women at first-time birth to the BBLR even though in many references four variables are closely related. As a follow-up, this secondary data research should be verified by primary data.
