Background: As a cause of increased morbidity and mortality among infants, low birth weight (LBW) remains a public health issue that requires serious attention in Indonesia. The use of iron supplements by pregnant women is one factor believed to be associated with the incidence of LBW. Purpose: Based on data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), this study examined the association between iron-folic acid tablet (IFAT) consumption among pregnant women and cases of LBW in Indonesia. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach and utilized secondary data from the 2022 SSGI covering 33 provinces and 486 regencies/cities in Indonesia. The study sample consisted of 3,042 respondents selected based on the availability of data on TTD consumption during pregnancy and infant birth weight. SPSS version 27 was used to analyze the data using the chi-square test. Results: The study results show that the majority of pregnant women do not meet the recommended intake of folic acid supplements; specifically, 51.4% consume fewer than 90 tablets, while the prevalence of low birth weight is 6.2%. The p-value was 0.416 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The incidence of LBW in Indonesia is multifactorial; therefore, prevention efforts must be comprehensive and take various risk factors into account. This study shows that there is no statistically significant association between iron tablet intake among pregnant women and the incidence of LBW in Indonesia.
