Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a critical global and national public health concern with profound maternal and neonatal health implications. Objectives: This study aims to systematically synthesize and analyze the predominant factors influencing the incidence of anemia among pregnant women based on a comprehensive literature review of contemporary research articles. Methods: A comprehensive literature review design was implemented, evaluating ten primary scientific articles published between 2021 and 2024 from accredited databases. Analytical extraction matrices were utilized to evaluate clinical and non-clinical risk factors. Results: The synthesis demonstrates that maternal age (particularly high-risk groups <20 and >35 years), elevated parity, short pregnancy intervals, low socio-economic status, low educational attainment, inadequate knowledge, poor nutritional status (chronic energy malnutrition/mid-upper arm circumference <23.5 cm), and non-compliance with iron (Fe) tablet supplementation are significantly associated with anemia. Conclusions: Eliminating maternal anemia requires holistic multidimensional interventions combining clinical optimization, strategic health education, and the systematic implementation of professional midwifery core values.
