Abstract

Women of childbearing age are of concern considering that as prospective mothers who will experience pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, their health needs to be prepared. Maternal health in Indonesia is of concern to all parties because maternal and infant mortality rates are still high. One of the causes of maternal mortality rate is pre-eclampsia which is characterized by high blood pressure. This study aims to identify the body mass index of women of childbearing age. This research is descriptive quantitative. The study was conducted by examining the height and weight of 78 respondents through accidental sampling. The results showed that the age of most respondents was 21 years (75.64%), respondents were categorized as underweight 5.13%, normal 65.38%, overweight 21.79%, obesity 7.70%. Based on the results of this study, it was shown that 34.62% of women of childbearing age had risks to their health. Suggestions for future researchers to identify early on the health of women of childbearing age to prepare for the health of mothers and their babies in the future.
