Research Objectives: Factors related to Chronic Energy Deficiency (CEL) in pregnant women in Tigi District, Deiyai District. Research Method: Analytical with cross sectional study design. The population is all pregnant women who were registered in April 2018 in Waghete Health Center and Damabagata Health Center in Deiyai District with 291 people and a sample of 168 people randomly. Data obtained using questionnaires and analysis using chi square and logistic binary regression. Results: Factors related to the incidence of CEL in pregnant women in Tigi District Deiyai District were education (p-value 0.019; RP = 2.255; CI95% (1,188-2,280), occupation (p- value 0,000; RP = 6,338; CI95% (3,019- 13,303), knowledge (p-value 0,000; RP = 11,503; CI95% (5,404 - 24,485), frequency of eating (p-value 0,000; RP = 15,996; CI95% (7,336 - 34,881), rest pattern ( p-value 0,000; RP = 6,061; CI95% (2,707 - 13,569). Whereas the factors not related to CEL events in pregnant women in Tigi District, Deiyai District are age (p-value 0,261; RP = 1,554; CI95% ( 0.797– 3.029), family income (p-value 0.254; RP = 1.520; CI95% (0.808 - 2.861), parity (p-value 0.310; RP = 0.539; CI95% (0.202 - 1.442), birth distance (p-value 0,585; RP. 00,669; CI95% (0,245 - 1,826).

INTRODUCTION World Health Organization (WHO) (2015) Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) of 99% occurs in developing countries; in 2013 it was 230 per 100,000 live births compared to 16 per 100,000 live births in developed countries. According to WHO in 2013, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) recorded in Indonesia was still around 190 per 100,000 births. Indonesia entered the ranks of the countries with the highest AKI, which was ranked 3rd in ASEAN member countries. According to data from the Papua Provincial Health Office in 2015 there were 5340 cases of CEL and in 2016 it increased to 5734 cases. Based on the observations of researchers in Tigi District where there are 2 Waghete Health Centers and in Damabagata Health Center, Deiyai District, there are 50 pregnant women who have CEL. The condition of CEL in the mother, especially during pregnancy, affects the weight of the baby born. Mothers who experience problems with malnutrition during pregnancy will be at risk of giving birth to babies with low weight (LBW). The inhibition of intrauterine growth in pregnant women who experience CEL will cause the birth of babies with low weight. One study states that pregnant women who experience CEL have the opportunity to give birth to
