We assessed in 400 pregnant women, hospitalized in Maternity Cuza-Voda Iasi, the relationship between sociodemographic, dietary and educational factors and degree of anemia, by using a food frequency questionnaire and a nutritional knowledge questionnaire. The prevalence of anemia in the study group was 20.05%. After multiple regression analysis (made step by) there was shown that anemia is significantly correlated with total iron and calcium intake, total cholesterol and nutritional knowledge.In our group, anemia had a significant incidence, being related with common factors such as iron intake (from food and supplements) and nutritional knowledge.
