Abstrakt: Objective: This study aimed to analyse the effect of providing food of tinutuan tinu key on the anthropometric nutritional status and hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. Methods: This work used an experimental method without a control group. The population was all pregnant women at the Wori Community Health Center, Wori Sub District, North Minahasa Regency, totaling 53 people. The providing food of tinutuan tinu key model was provided for 30 days. Pregnant women receive assistance from health workers four times a month and tinutuan tinu key once a day for 30 days. The main variables of the study were mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and hemoglobin levels. Data analysis was the Paired T-Test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The results of the study revealed that the average MUAC before providing food of tinutuan tinu key was 25.77 and after was 27.00 with a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000. Aside from that, it was discovered that the average score for hemoglobin levels before providing food of tinutuan tinu key was 10.36 and 11.26 after with a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000. Conclusion: The providing food of tinutuan tinu key has the potential to prevent chronic energy deficiency and anemia in pregnant women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
