Background: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia. In Bengkulu City, the burden of CED remains high and impacts the risk of low birth weight and pregnancy complications. Objective: To analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge, energy intake, and protein intake with the nutritional status of pregnant women in the working area of Telaga Dewa Health Center, Bengkulu City. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 71 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examinations at Telaga Dewa Health Center from January to May 2025. Data were collected through interviews using a nutritional knowledge questionnaire and a 2×24-hour food recall form to assess energy and protein intake. Nutritional status was measured using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), classified as CED if <23.5 cm. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: A total of 38.0% of pregnant women were categorized as having poor nutritional status. There were significant associations between nutritional knowledge (χ² = 12.49; p = 0.002), energy intake (χ² = 5.90; p = 0.015), and protein intake (χ² = 4.96; p = 0.026) with the nutritional status of pregnant women. Conclusion: Low nutritional knowledge, insufficient energy, and inadequate protein intake are significantly associated with poor maternal nutritional status. Strengthening nutrition education programs through

family-based pregnancy classes and promoting local protein sources such as fish, eggs, and tempeh are recommended to improve maternal nutrition and prevent CED during pregnancy. Suggestion: It is recommended to strengthen practical nutrition education, promote the consumption of local protein sources, provide individualized nutrition counseling, and ensure routine MUAC screening to prevent CED.

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a common health problem among school-aged children, particularly those related to poor hygiene practices and the consumption of unhygienic snacks. Handwashing habits and choosing clean food play an essential role in preventing the fecal–oral transmission of helminths. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between gender, handwashing behavior, and snack consumption with the occurrence of helminth infections among students at SD X. Method: This research employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total sample of 31 students was selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and stool examinations. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that 25.8% of the students were infected with helminths. Based on gender, the proportion of infection was equal among male and female students, with a Chi-square test result of p = 0.731. Students with poor handwashing practices showed a higher proportion of helminth infections; however, the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.073). Similarly, students who frequently consumed unhygienic snacks had a higher infection rate, yet no significant relationship was found (p = 0.314). Conclusion: In conclusion, there was no significant association between gender, handwashing behavior, and snack consumption with helminth infections among students of SD X. Nevertheless, the observed tendencies suggest that poor hygiene behavior and the consumption of unhygienic snacks may contribute to an increased risk of helminth infection.
