Result: Prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy was 22.0% during the period of this study, with 95.3% only mildly anaemic. Majority were Malays (74.5%),at 3rd trimester (74.5%), 80.3% aged between 20 to 34 years old, 52.8% from rural area, 64.1% are with tertiary level of education, 51.9% were unemployed, 56.6% were multipara, 24.5% had their child spacing lesser than 2 years. Factors that are associated were maternal education (p= 0.003), parity (p= 0.039), child spacing (p= 0.037), seafood intake (p<0.001), presence of intake of Iron supplement during (p= 0.010), frequency of Iron supplementation intake (p<0.001), and the method of consumption (p=0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant association between maternal age with anaemia in pregnancy (adjusted OR = 2.941, 95% CI 0.404-12.316).
