The Effect of Green Bean Supplementary Feeding on Weight Gain in Pregnant Women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) at the Sagrat Community Health Center

Abstract
Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is one of the nutritional problems that contributes to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, fetal growth disorders, and low birth weight babies. Nutritional intervention efforts through Supplementary Food (PMT) made from local foods are considered important to improve maternal nutritional status effectively and sustainably. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of green bean SSF on weight gain in pregnant women with CEE. The study design used a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest–posttest with control group, involving 20 pregnant women divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received green bean SSF for four weeks, while the control group received routine nutrition services. The results of the analysis showed that the intervention group experienced a significantly higher weight gain than the control group, both in terms of total weight change and weekly weight gain (p = 0.001). The proportion of pregnant women who achieved adequate weight gain was also greater in the intervention group. These findings indicate that green bean PMT is an effective local food-based intervention to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women with KEK. In conclusion, green bean supplementation can be recommended as part of a pregnant women's nutrition program in primary care to support maternal health and prevent the long-term effects of KEK on mothers and fetuses.
