The purpose of this study was to analyze thecorrelation between dietary diversity and anemia in pregnant women in Sumenep District, Madura. This study wasa cross-sectional design. The population of this study was 411 pregnant women in four selected health centers inSumenep District.

Data analysis used the spearmantest to determine the correlation between MDD-W score and hemoglobin concentration in pregnant women.The result showed that 51,5% of pregnant women were anemic. The MDD-W score for anemia and non-anemiagroups was low (4,8±1,2 vs 4,8±1,6). Spearman test showed that the MDD-W score was not associated with hemoglobinconcentration (p>0,05). Factors of significantly associated with haemoglobin concentration were includinggestational age (r=-0,148; p=0,036), BMI pre-pregnancy (r=0,145; p=0,041), and mid-upper arm circumference(r=0,231; p=0,001). Factors related to anemia in pregnant women were the gestational age, nutritional status inpre-pregnancy, and MUAC, while dietary diversity was not related to the incidence of anemia in pregnant women]]>
